Sun Koshi (Upper)

The Sun Koshi (Upper) is the ideal river for novices as it has no big, challenging rapids. The surrounding scenery is beautiful and the trip is relaxing with mountain views to admire. The river run is a short half day of rafting through forested valleys and white sandy beaches. Combining an overnight stay at Dhulikhel, rafters can enjoy superb views of the Himalayas and a stunning sunrise the nest morning before heading out to the river.

The put-in point for this Sun Koshi trip is at Balefi Bazaar. As the trip begins, rafters immediately face Class I rapids.
But this is really relaxing run with plenty of time to take in the surrounding landscapes. With so much greenery around, there are sightings of wildlife such as monkeys, mongoose and deer. After a pleasent ride down the river, the trip ends at Dolalghat, the put-out point. An alternative to this trip is a one-day run that starts at Lamosanghu (Long Bridge) and comes across a Class III rapid before finishing at Chehare.

Best Time: October to December and from March to May.
