 The Kongpo and Draksum Chu are world-class rivers with exciting rapids and stunning mountain scenery. The Kongpo region is quite different from the rest of Tibet with forested mountains and emerald green rivers. On the Kongpo Chu, we run 77 km of very exciting rapids. The highlight of the trip is the Gyazhing Gorge, which has 3km of exhilarating class III and IV rapids. On the Draksum Chu we run approx 30km of whitewater. You definitely have to be a confident swimmer to challenge this run and you must be fit and fairly well acclimatized. This is an exciting run and you will be expected to paddle hard particularly on day two.
Trips
 We regularly run 6 different rivers in the Central Tibetan area, ranging from relaxing float trips to challenging Class IV white water. We offer short trips based out of Lhasa and multi-day expeditions to wild rivers in remote regions of Tibet . We can combine a rafting adventure with any trekking or cultural tour from our general catalogue. Simply let us know what kind of adventure you have in mind and we will prepare an itinerary to suit your needs.
