Rafting in the River Dudh Koshi
The Dudh Koshi flows down from the Everest region. It flows alongside the trail to the Everest Base Camp, so many trekkers and mountaineers are familiar with this river. The lnku and Hongu rivers flowing in changes the flow of the river dramatically but the valley widens out and the gradient drops. Many Class III and IV rapids are encountered as the river flows down to rabuwa. This section inloves quite a bit of portage and reportedly quite challenging. Finally it eases down until it teaches the Sun Koshi River which is another good river for rafting.
The Dudh Koshi is a great river with stunning views of the Kumbhu Himal. As the trail follows the river, there are many lodges around here. For commercial rafting, the last 32 km of the river is recommended after which it flows into the Sun Koshi. Hence a combined Dudh Koshi-Sun Koshi river trip is ideal, using the former as the starting point. ·
The best time to go is from October to December or Febraury to April.
