An exhilarating white water challenge, away from main trekking routes yet easily accessible from Kathmandu. Only recommended for expert Kayakers.

The Tama Koshi is a powerful, major, river with a volume twice of the Bhote Koshi. The river rises in Tibet and drains a lot of high Himalayan Peaks and glaciers. The drive to the put in will offer us perfect mountain views from the Rolwaling and Khumbu area.

Rafting:
Not recommended

Kayaking:
A great river for the expert kayaker. Please note that there is no warm up and you are straight into class 4+ white water. Definitely not the river to do straight out of the plane!
