Description:
One of Nepal’s newest rivers open for rafting and kayaking, it certainly lives up to its name, “The Jewel in the East”. This sparkling river hails its waters from the mighty Mount Kanchenjunga, the third highest peak in the world, which straddles Nepal’s border in the east.
The river itself is accessed by three days of trekking, and in its 131 raftable kilometer length, there are some 120 rapids, which sure as hell mean you are going to be in for the ride of your life, with the non stop white water of this ripper of a river. The unspoilt and barley inhabited environments of this river make for an unforgettable trip.
Conditions:
We ask that you have your own travel insurance to cover you for the rivers that you wish to run.
We also ask that you have a degree of flexibility in your dates. Although we try to make things run as smoothly as possible, Nepal is a developing country and as such strikes etc are uncontrollable!
We need at least 4 rafters to run this trip, however individuals are welcome to join existing groups.
No experience of rafting is required for this trip, although it is helpful if you know how to swim!
Responsible Action:
We are 100% local, from the drivers we use to our raft guides. This means that 100% of what you spend stays in Nepal to benefit Nepal.
We run our own trips, we guide your bike tours and your raft trips, which means that none of your money goes on commission.
We source everything we need for our trips locally. Rather than buying our food from Kathmandu, we source it from the local villages so as to benefit the communities we are travelling through.
We never buy wood from villages so as not to encourage deforestation. If we want a camp fire we have a rummage for spare drift wood.
We know that tourism has an impact on our environment but we are very careful not to influence rural communities. We keep our groups small and leave no trace of our being there after we have gone. All our rubbish is collected up and disposed of back in Kathmandu, right down to the last cigarette butt!
