Days 3 - 9
After a hearty breakfast its time to head towards the big river. The first part of the morning is spent explaining the finer points on how to paddle through whitewater. You will encounter numerous smaller rapids on the first two days of the river followed by the more meaty Meat Grinder, High Anxiety and Harkapur. After stopping at Tokshel Harkapur and spending time checking out this porter town we drift down to a rapid called Harkapur 2 and camp for the evening. The famous Dudh Kosi, the river of milk, which tumbles down from Mount Everest forms the next rapid followed by Jaws, then Dead Mans Eddy and cascading water falls. We will then have at least one layover day staying at the same river camp for two nights.
(All meals included)
Day 10
The next big rapid of the trip - The Big Dipper. Its then a quiet cruise down the confluence with the Tamur and Arun and the beginning of the Sapta Kosi, or the Seven Rivers. By noon we have reached the takeout. Two hours by bus brings us to Mulghat where we make a riverside camp right beside the mighty Tamur River.
(All meals included)
Day 11
The Lower Tamur is without a doubt one of the most exciting things you can do in Nepal, and quite possibly one of the best short river sections offered anywhere in the world. A full day on the river brings us to the sandy camp at the confluence of the Sun Kosi.
