Kayaking in the Himalayas
The Rivers in the Himalayas over some of the best playground for Kayak Beginners. Big volume Rivers with warm and clean water to enjoy your days while learning.
Our courses are placed on different locations depending on the season, but will most likely follow the itinerary below.
Beginner Course:
For the newbie to the kayak sport, things will start slow and we will practice the basics for the first few days, before we then start paddling on different rivers.
At the end of the course the beginner should be able to Eskimo roll and to negotiate rapids as well as being able to read most of the dangerous features in the water.
Course length will be 4 days.
Day 1: Transport to the Kayaking Resort. A swimming pool will give you the right confidence build up for the afternoon sessions on the river.
Day 2: Your first full day on the river with tackeling small waves and rapids.
Day 3: Today the focus will go on your rolling and scouting abilities.
Day 4: Another crushing day with real whitewater ahead to be tackeled. Transport back to Kathmandu.
We also offer kayaking courses in India on the blue Ganges River and the Kali River in Goa (depending on the season).
