 Sunkoshi
River |
|
The Sunkoshi River is known in Nepal as the River
of gold. It is the longest river trip in
Nepal traversing 270 km in length. It begins
after 3 houses drive from kathmandu and is
60 km from the Tibet border. It is
considered as the ideal river for long
rafting. The Sunkhoshi menders its way
through the lovely and picturesque
Mahabharat range of mountains. This all
encompassing trip takes you from the
mountains near the Tibet border to the hot
dusty Indian plains.
This river begins its journey slowly and
slowly progresses through fantastic scenery
and quite fine villages; its intensity picks
up and boasts some of the biggest waves seen
on raft able rivers. This trip is listed as
one of the world’s top ten classic river
journeys.
