We will start our Multi River Expedition with a scenic drive to Khadichour (796 m). The winding road follows the Arniko Highway along the Bhotekoshi River. We will get to witness the picturesque countryside of Nepal. Similarly, we will pass by green hills, rivers, and bazaars. You may also catch sight of the distant Himalayas. It takes 3 to 4 hours to drive from Kathmandu to Khadichour.

Upon reaching Khadichour, we will take on the lower Bhotekosi rafting. Today’s rafting activity is short but fast-paced and intense. We will raft through class III rapids with boulder gardens at narrow gorges. The rafting today provides a glimpse of the adventure that awaits us in the coming days. We will disembark and camp overnight at Sukute.

En route, we will pass by small villages and terrace farms. The drive also offers scenic river and mountain views. Upon reaching Balephi Khola, we will prepare for our rafting trip.

The starting point of our rafting is Jalbire. We will flow down the steep rapids of class III+, passing by steep gorges, green hills, small villages, and suspension bridges along the way. Occasionally, we will encounter fun wave trains. We will pass Sukute and continue rafting down to Dolalghat. Finally, we will stop at Sun Koshi beach and camp here for the night.

Another adventure awaits us today, and we will start our day after a hearty breakfast at Sun Koshi beach. The whitewater rafting is relatively calm with class III rapids. We will come across fun wave trains and splashy sections. Likewise, we may have to conquer some small boulders as we paddle down the stream. Rafting from Dolalghat to Pachuwarghat (514 m) offers gorgeous riverside scenery. We will camp at the peaceful campsite of Pachuwarghat.

Our rafting expedition on this day is another moderate excursion. After breakfast, we will gear up and begin our rafting. The currents are continuous but less intense.

We will enjoy the beautiful scenery and may encounter river life. Our adventure for the day ends at Chainpur (1324 m). We will camp and enjoy the evening campfire here for the night.

After two days of moderate rafting experience, we will clash head-on with class IV whitewater rapids today. The raft journey will take us from Chainpur to Jhagare (1190 m), a part of the Sun Koshi River rafting. Flowing down the thrilling currents, we will encounter challenging rapids like Harkapur Second, Dead Man Eddy, and Jungle Corridor rapids. The scenery again is breathtakingly beautiful. Similarly, you may witness locals busy working on the farms and herds of cattle grazing by the riverside. We will disembark at Jhagare and camp at its beautiful sandy beach for the night.

Our rafting trip on this day is perhaps the most challenging one. Today, we will navigate the intense currents with renowned class V rapids like Harkapur (5-) legacy rapid. There are steep drops, big and narrow waves, and tight turns. The thrilling ride will satisfy even extreme sports enthusiasts. As you maneuver your way through the powerful waves, you will also witness gorgeous scenery. There are a few calm sections when you can catch your breath and enjoy the view. You will rest your arms after reaching Raighat and stay at the riverside campsite.

We will rest at Raighat and rejuvenate ourselves today. After the challenging rafting from Jhagare to Raighat, today’s rest day is well deserved and needed. We will explore the local villages. You will have an opportunity to meet and interact with the locals and witness their lifestyle. You can also rest and relax by the riverbanks. In the evening, we will enjoy a barbecue at our campsite.

After a good rest and breakfast at Raighat, we will continue with our Multi River Expedition. Today, we will raft from Raighat to Rasuwaghat. It is a thrilling adventure, and we will battle challenging rapids of class IV+. We will battle with rapids like Dead Man Eddy, Jaws, and Rhino Rock. There are several technical sections with narrow canyons and steep drops. There are a few calm water sections, offering a relaxing paddling experience.

Today, we will follow the current path from Rasuwaghat to the waterfall. It is another challenging adventure, and we will battle continuous rapids and waterfalls. There are a few technical sections, and we must navigate through narrow channels and sharp turns. Likewise, we can also encounter challenging rapids like the Jungle Corridor and Roller Coaster along the way. The river flows right through lush forests, hills, and cliffs.

On the tenth day of our Multi River Expedition, we will follow the river down to Tribeni. Tribeni is the meeting point of three major rivers: Arun, Sunkoshi, and Tamur Rivers. The whitewater rapids are fast-paced and intense, but not overly technical. There are sections where you will come across bouncy waves that heighten the thrill. The rapids are mostly class IV and III, such as Big Dipper and Black Hole. The Tribeni River has a religious site, and locals gather for religious rituals. You may catch sight of the locals as you reach the riverside. We will stay at the campsite at the Tribeni tonight.

We will have breakfast at our campsite in Tribeni, then raft for an hour to Sapta Koshi and then to Chatara. From Chatara, we will drive to Mulghat to reach the Tamur River, where we will raft. The whitewater rapids of the Tamur River are continuous and exciting. We will camp by the Tamur riverside tonight and enjoy the beautiful scenery and serene atmosphere.

We will raft on the Tamur River to Tribeni. The current is continuous and intense, making it a challenging whitewater adventure.
