The point at which one can start is largely depended upon the water level, however, during high water it is possible to start at Lamosangu which runs directly into Grade III rapids although this is not practical for inexperienced crews. Our programme allows for seven full days and two half days of actual rafting time. The speed at which one travels on the river is largely governed by the water level in that, the higher level, the faster, the flow. During such a period the trip might have to be shortened by one day. The Sunkoshi River has a large selection of sandy beaches throughout its length, which gives a self-sufficient group a great deal of flexibility in its choice of camping places.
Some beaches are near villages and others are remote and accessible only by boat.
