The sheer volume and intensity of the rapids as well as the cultural experience
make the Sun Kosi one of the ten classic rafting rivers in the world. With 270
kilometres of large volume rapids and huge sandy beaches, the Sun Kosi is
similar in nature to the Grand Canyon in Colorado. The rapids naturally progress
as the Sun Kosi winds its way through the beautiful Mahabharat Range, collecting
tributaries from the highest mountains in the world, ranging across eastern
Nepal. It is an excellent choice for someone doing a first river trip in Nepal.
The river winds past Hindu temples, villages and jungles, emerging from the
hills at Chatara to see the vast Gangetic plain stretching endlessly ahead in a
moment where legend stirs your soul.
