Day 01 : We meet in Himalayan
Worldwide head office in "Z" Street Thamel
Kathmandu and drive to Balephi, the raft put in point
(3hrs driving), Lunch served, equipment packed and be
ready to listen some important safety and paddling briefing
by our guides. Immediately, the action starts- paddle
forward and harder. The three class rapids will be exercise
for the learner rafters. The area is scenic and panoramic.
Camp set at Dolalghat. Enjoy the Dinner and camp fire.
Day 02 : After having
Breakfast we paddle down to encounter with challenge
of "Meatgrinder"i.e. IV+ rapids. A few meters
below here the Tamakoshi joins Sunkoshi on the left
with a beach on the confluence. There is another beautiful
Shiva Temple, where the local pilgrims come worship
every morning. We camp here.
Day 03 : Until the confluence
with the Likhu Khola, we have short easy rafting and
rapids are only iii class. Thereafter, very soon we
face the iv + rapid "High Anxiety" with a
large hole on the left highway down and series of holes
at the bottom. Swim for a while splashing each other
and camp.
Day 04 : After facing
a several 3+rapids, we stop for a while to buy some
necessary provisions and beers. Be ready to paddle faster
because we encounter with challenge of v class rapids
"Harkapur 2" and "Harkapur 3", the
hardest and biggest in this trip, which should be carefully
scouted. Camp set and just think what a great day we
have.
Day 05 : After the confluence
with the Dudhkoshi river from Mt.Everest, the river
becomes wide in size. But very soon we meet the "Jaws",
iv rapid.
Day 06 : Today is the
hard day as you will encounter with V class rapids"Rhino
Rocks" and "Jungle Corridor" and a few
continuous white water. Waterfalls cascade on both sides
of the river. One water fall makes great spot for a
team shower. We set camp and enjoy the tranquil night.
Day 07 : Relax yourselves
because you paddle too much for couple of days.
Day 08 : Great waves
not a big rapid so you can ask our kayakers to instruct
you about how to roll.
Day 09 : Today we are
going to face the last rapid of this trip "Bigdipper"
is a series of huge standing waves. A few KM down we
meet Arun and Tamur to form the river As Saptakoshi(seven
rivers) and we will have numerous waves and whirlpools.
For a short time we go to visit Barahi temple in order
to pick a so-looked small rock. We finish our trip at
Chatara and then drive back to Kathmandu.
Note : In Sep. it is
seven day trip. From Oct to Dec it is 9 day trip. From
March to May it is 10 day trip.
