Day 01:  After breakfast it’s 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 Man’s Eddy and cascading waterfalls. We will then have at least one layover day staying at the same river camp for two nights.

Day 02: A gentle day on the river as we tick off some of the 280kms of paddling this river covers. The flat sections are interspersed with gentle class II/III rapids.

Day 03: Another steady day but as the volume of the river grows so do the rapids. We run several bigger class II & III rapids before running the big waves and holes of Punch & Judy.

Day 04: This is a day of two halves. A few steady rapids in the morning lead up to the rivers largest rapid - Harkapour. This is definite inspection and portage for some. The rest will hopefully nail the lines and miss the holes! This is followed immediately by Harkapour 2, another intimidating but fun rapid if levels are high. We stop for lunch on the beach opposite the confluence with the Dudh Kosi River (the Raging River of Everest"). We continue downstream playing in the friendly rapids and will finish early.

Day 05: We start fast today with several larger read and run rapids of class III/III+ including Jaws. We will stop and scout Dead Man's Eddy and run a sneak line river right if needed. More playing and fun rapids until we stop early again (approx 3pm).

Day 06: Jungle Corridor. Lots of read and run class III/III+ with some interesting lines, boils and whirlpools - but lots of fun! We will stop and inspect Roller Coaster but this is quite an easy rapid. We will lunch on a waterfall beach and give people the chance to rinse off in the one of the jungles chilled power showers! Again an earlish finish (3pm) and camp on another spectacular beach surrounded by the jungle on all sides.

Day 07: More class III/III+ with Big Dipper offering up something a little larger around lunchtime. More playing and rapids in the afternoon lead to the confluence with the Lower Tamur and our camp for the night.

Day 08: We paddle from the confluence to the take out at Chatra and observe the major scenery change as the hills disappear and the river opens up as it flows and meanders its way towards Bangladesh and the Bay of Bengal. We take out and pack up the equipment and lunch at Chatra before heading up to Mulghat (3 hour drive) and the start of the Lower Tamur River. We camp on the river side for the night
 
Day 09: A big day on the Lower Tamur. The first few kms allow a warm up before we inspect the first major rapid. The nest few hours rapids of class III - IV follow in quick succession making this one of the finest single day runs around. We will make several inspections and end the day back at the confluence with the Sun Kosi where we will camp for the night.

Day 10: A final short paddle from the confluence back to Chatra where we pack all the gear once again then drive to Biratnagar for our short 40min flight back to Kathmandu. Those sitting on the right hand side of the plane will see the snow capped Himalaya in all their splendour and will also catch glimpses of the Sun Kosi way below us. On a clear day you can even see the mightiest of them all - Everest! We arrive back in Kathmandu in the early evening and head to the hotel for a freshen up before heading out to celebrate our 12 days on the water.

Safari Option: For those who don't cherish the thought of returning directly to civilization, consider visiting the Royal Chitwan National Park. While at Chitwan we will enjoy a variety of activities ranging from elephant safaris (unquestionably the best vehicle from which to view rhinoceros and tigers), canoeing amongst marsh mugger crocodiles, jungle walks and bird watching. We stay at the premium Temple Tiger Lodge and Tented Camp, which has the premium location in the park.
