From most descriptions of Tibet it is hard to believe that Tibet is home to a large number of spectacular rivers. In the summer months regular rains swell Tibet's rivers and the result is a surprising number of world class rafting and kayaking rivers.
We have employed international guides who work along side our Tibetan guides to ensure a very high standard of safety, service and cultural experience. We offer a variety of river trips, from class 1 float trips to class 4 whitewater.
Class 1 float trip
Approx. 20 km and 2-3 hours on the water
The Lhasa River is the perfect run for those looking for a spectacular scenic trip and not too much action. It is an ideal way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and gain a different perspective of Lhasa and the Lhasa Valley. We use oar rafts...
Class II and III whitewater
Approx. 20 km and 2-3hrs on the water
The Tolung Chu is a fun whitewater adventure only 1 hour from Lhasa. It is a perfect introduction to whitewater rafting in Tibet. You do not have to be able to swim, but it is recommended that you are physically fit and have acclimatized in Lhasa for a few days as you will be required to paddle and move around the raft. This is our most popular trip for those that only have a short time in Lhasa.

1 Day trip 25km rafting and 3-4 hours on the water
2 Day option 40km rafting and 2 days on the water
