Nepal - Sun Kosi

Gathering strength from tributaries draining the highest mountains in the world the whitewater on the Sun Kosi is Biblical, even expedition-size, rafts disappear into the vastness of crashing waves and rolling, boiling water. After the monsoon the river is high and wild, and definitely not for the faint-hearted. Whipped, foamy whitewater where narrow gorges constrict the river's flow, the rapids here are long and powerful. The warm waters of the Sun Kosi surge, snake and wind for 270 km to the east of Nepal. While the lower sections of large volume rivers are usually rather flat, the Sun Kosi reserves some of its biggest and best rapids for the last days. At the right flow it's an incredible combination of whitewater, scenery, villages, and truly quiet and introspective evenings on huge sandy beaches along what many people consider to be one of the world's ten classic river journeys.
