 Dudh Kosi River Rafting
The Dudh Kosi has been called the "Relentless river of Everest" because it's on the main trail to Everest Base Camp and so thousands of trekkers and mountaineers have walked along part of it and also of course, because of kayaking films and books.
This is steep river: the majority of the upper river has a gradient of up to 12 m/km (600 ft a mile) flowing in a deep gorge with the trail a long way above.
The Dudh Kosi has seen several huge floods that have scoured out the river bed and washed away the usual rounded, water-worn boulders: leaving instead jagged social debris all the way down the river- hence the derogatory but perhaps apt description 'rock-infested ditch" that has been coined by those who have kayaked.
