Drigung Chu

Class III / IV whitewater

1 Day trip 25km rafting and 3-4 hours on the water

2 Day option  40km rafting and 2 days on the water

 

The Drigung Chu is situated in an exquisite alpine valley about 2 hours from Lhasa.  Continuous class III rapids are interspersed with incredible granite gorges and challenging class IV rapids. The 2 day trip runs more whitewater and also includes a visit to the Tidrum Nunnery and hotsprings.  To undertake this trip you should be able to swim and you must be fit and fairly well acclimatized (at least 4 days in Lhasa). This run is quite technical so you will be expected to paddle often. This trip is for those looking for an exciting river adventure in a unique environment. Our guides feel this run is the most beautiful river in Tibet!
