Fly to Biratnagar and then to Basantapur by land transport, which is the real starting point for your trekking and rafting trip.
Trekking 4 days to Dovan via Gupha Pokhari We start our four-day treks into the heart of eastern Nepal and will stop for lunch and relax and enjoy the views and culture of local village life. Trek up over the Milke Danda via Gupha Pokhari to Dovan from where we will start our rafting trip. This route has spectacular mountain views of Mount Everest, Makalu and Kanchenjunga. Porters will be carrying the main loads (including kayaks and rafts!) We make camp.
The white water action begins from Dovan Your expedition leader and your raft guide will give you a detailed safety briefing. Then for the rest of the day (apart from the lunch break of course) you are in a turquoise blue class 4 white water paradises.
This is the type of day that people imagine when they think of Himalayan water. It is big and continuous. We enter into the Jungle Corridor. This is a narrowing jungle clad gorge and it is all ours. The team building is put into full practice and when your guide shouts "all forward " he really means it. Enjoy the ride all day and camp in this sensational setting at God-house.
Time to have a break. We have given you a rest day to enjoy the beach life, or go for a day trek to the local villages who are always so welcoming and inspiring with their unending supply of enthusiasm and smiles.
The action continues as you tackle more class ii-iv rapids all the way.
Relax and enjoy a mellow day on the river as you float through the day with the occasional "all forward call" to bring you back into action. You need to relax so you are ready for tomorrow!
There could not be a better way to end an expedition like this other than on continuous class IV for half a day. Perfect action on a perfect river. We end the journey in Chaatra. Those who choose to fly will be taken by taxi to Biratnagar airport to catch their flight (1-hour).
