River Dudh Kosi

Dudh Kosi, Nepal

Description:

The Dudh Kosi River is one of the highest and most difficult-to-pass rivers in the world. The river originates in the Gokyo lakes and descends to the Namche Bazar tract, where it merges with the Bhot Kosi river. After that, the river leaves the Sagarmata National Park and continues to flow to the village of Lukla. Then the river merges with San Kosi and forms the Kosi River.

The river is extreme for alloys. The first was British kayaker Mike.

In November 2009, a group of Russian athletes successfully completed kayaking along the lower half of the river, overcame two difficult canyons along which the river bed runs - near the village of Tari and between the villages of Shurke and Dzhubing, which are one continuous obstacle - successive waterfalls with a height of 2 to 4 meters and rapids of the highest category of complexity. The upper half remained unconquered because Nepali authorities have banned rafting through Sagarmata National Park. Floating on this river is considered one of the most difficult on the planet because of the river drop of 70 meters per kilometer and numerous dangerous rapids.
