Transportation to the river
The bus journey from Kathmandu takes 3-4 hours and rises up out of the valley and drops down into the Sun Kosi valley. From here the valley is followed upstream and is still called the Sun Kosi. Close to Barabise the Sun Kosi turns east and the Bhote Kosi goes north. Close to the Km 95 marker the river can be accessed a run. Further upstream the grades increase and they say that if you don't get scared, just keep going upstream and eventually you will!
On the river
When you reach the put-in point, you will be amazed to see that the crews have already prepared lunch for you. Then you start the adventures of the day. The day ends at a campsite where the crews will have already reached with the gears. Maybe the dinner is also ready. The following day, after breakfast, again you are on the thrilling rapids. In the afternoon, you will reach the put-out point and you will proceed to Kathmandu.
