With the onset of so much development and roads on the Sun Kosi River, we have decided to set our focus more on sending clients to the Karnali and Tamur rivers, allowing our guests to get remote and disconnect, in a familiar theme with many of our other destinations such as the Grand Canyon and the Zambezi.
Paddling through Gods House on the Karnali River
The Karnali River is in the “wild west” of Nepal and offers some of the best rapids in the world, stunning beaches and the opportunity to view wildlife at close range. Mugger crocodiles and even leopards have been spotted on previous trips. It is world class rapids such as “Godshouse” Flip and Strip, Juicer, Freight Train and Sweetness & Light most people go for.

Tucked away in remote eastern Canada, the Magpie River isn’t somewhere you just stumble across. There are no roads leading to it, no towns nearby, no easy […]
French Polynesia is far more than a scattering of beautiful islands set in impossibly blue water. Long before yachts, charts, and GPS, these islands sat at the very heart of one of humanity’s greatest stories of exploration. The great Polynesian expansion across the Pacific Ocean. When we sail through places like Tahiti, Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea, […]
Nepal is home to some of the greatest whitewater rafting rivers on the planet. Among them, two names stand out for very different — yet equally compelling — reasons: the Karnali River and the Tamur River. If you’re trying to decide between these two iconic Himalayan expeditions, you’re not alone. Both offer multi-day journeys through […]
