The Sun Koshi River, also known as the “River of Gold”, is considered to be one of the top ten best rafting/kayaking rivers in the world. A 10-day rafting trip starting from Dolalghat is of medium difficulty and not for beginners. On day 5 at Raighat, there is the option for a days trek to an amazing viewpoint of Mt Everest. Day to Day Itinerary Day 1 Drive(3 hrs) to Dolalghat(put in point). Short raft to camp at Tarang Gaun. Stay overnight at tented camp

We'll drive to Dolalghat by private bus very comfortably which may be approximately 3 hours journey from Kathmandu. Dolalghat best known as put in point as it makes people experience the real thrill of rafting in the high and rapid current of river flow.

The size of the rapids and current on this river will definitely surprise you. Here people of the ethnic group Newars and others always wait to see the adventurers pass by cause to see people raft is also a kinda thrill.
