OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
When it comes to audacious adventure, Tamakoshi River Rafting takes the croquet biscuit.
At 7181m, the glaciers from Mt. Gaurishankar form Tse Rolpa Lake and from this lake originates the Tamakoshi River. The TamaKoshi River (Kayaking) is a snow and glacier-fed perennial river, a tributary to the Sun Koshi River, which in itself is a major tributary to the Koshi River system… Rafting and Kayaking in Tamakoshi river start from a bridge on the way to Jiri called Busti. The TamaKoshi River has its upper reaches high in the Tibetan Himalayas. Astonishing Rolwaling, Charang, Gopi, Adheri, Khare, Jhyaku, Jugu, Gumu, Singati, Tineku, Dholti, Maren, Milti, Khimti are some of the major tributaries of the river.
With a water volume almost double of Bhote Koshi, Tamakoshi River (Copper River) is one of the most adventurous and complex rivers to raft. Tamakoshi river rafting is generally referred to raft savvy people who have adequate acquaintance with technicalities of sturdy water. An exciting and elegant white water challenge, away from main trekking routes yet easily accessible from Kathmandu. Rafting and kayaking in this river is however considered as a dangerous one. So the ultimate thrilling experience that rafting in this river provides might be pleasant to only a few number of rafters. This rafting spot is not recommended for beginners. However, professional rafters can test their rafting skills here if they want to.
Please have a chief knowledge that there is no warm up (instruction will be provided) and you are straight into class 4+ white water. Absolutely, not the river to commit out of the plane! A great river for the expert rafters!
