Sun Kosi - 9 days. The Sun Kosi is one of the top 10 rivers in the world to run. In kilometers it's the longest river trip in Nepal.

Karnali - 10 days. Considered as Nepal’s biggest and mightiest river, the Karnali lies in the country’s Wild West.

Rated as one of the top 10 rivers in the world, this is guaranteed to be an epic white water journey that you will never forget.

Tamur - 11 days. The Tamur is one of the most remote rivers in the country and offers up a spectacular rafting/trekking combination trip that will take your breath away.
