Starting with a couple of single day trips on the Sun Kosi followed by a Whitewater Safety & Rescue day, we then progress onto 2 fully supervised Multi-days trips. The magnificent Sun

Kosi river is regarded as one of the top 10 river journeys in the world. Combined with the warm blue water of the Seti Khola these are the perfect introduction to real whitewater kayaking.

With a chilled beer around the campfire in the evenings, a multitude of stories and we guarantee lots of hilarity – this really will be a trip to remember and the perfect introduction to whitewater kayaking!

Having practised and learnt all the basics we load up our rafts and head off down the Sun Kosi river for 5 days. We take to the water, scouting and running the rapids, all the time becoming more confident with our kayaks. The flow of the Sun Kosi is interspersed with some great rapids making it an ideal place to work on our river reading and running skills. We drift the flatter sections, taking in the amazing surroundings and magnificent views of the surrounding forests and mountains.
