Glacier water from the 10th Highest Mountain Shisa Pangma, carve a steep and direct drop at the top that gradually eases to more placid streams and the calmer pool within a 46-km run at the Lamosunga dam. The rapids here are a solid class IV- V at high flow, and a more classic III at lower levels.

* Medium high flows.
** Due to pre-monsoon storms and snowmelt, expeditions at these times will be high flows.
*** With monsoon season, the river gets wild and very high, so expect more challenging rivers…
Escape from Kathmandu to Borderland Bhote Koshi ~ Every Weekend. !!
During high flow when the upper section is not runnable, we offer the lower section below dam – which is always exciting in high flows.
** The rivers at these times will be in really high flows, expect them to be more challenging.
