Gathering
strength from tributaries draining the highest
mountains in the world the white water on the
Sun Koshi is Biblical, even expedition-size
rafts disappear into the vastness of crashing
waves and rolling, boiling water.
After the monsoon the river is high and wild,
and definitely not for the faint-hearted.
Whipped foamy white where narrow gorges
constrict the river's flow the cataracts are
long and powerful. The warm waters of the Sun
Koshi surge, snake and wind for 270 km to the
east of Nepal.
While the lower sections of large volume rivers
are usually rather flat, the Sun Koshi reserves
some of its biggest and best rapids for the last
days. At the right flow it's an incredible
combination of white water, scenery, villages,
and truly quiet and introspective evenings on
huge sandy beaches along what many people
consider to be one of the world's 10 classic
river journeys. |
