Dudh Koshi

Flowing down from the Everest region, the Dudh Koshi is a great river of eastern Nepal. The Hingu  and
Inku rivers flow into this river greatly augmenting the flow. The last 32 km of Dudh Koshi is highly recommended for rafting. It then flows into the Sun Koshi which makes it feasible to start a river trip on the Dudh Koshi and end it in the Sun Koshi.


The Dudh Koshi trip also allows stunning views of the Khumbu himal and there are many lodges along the trail. The river throws up challenging class III and Class IV rapids along the way and as the going gets though, there are places where portage becomes necessary. But before it merges with Sun Koshi, the river slows down to an easy flow.


The best time for a river run here is from October to December or February to April.
