“A hello from the Bhandaris in Nepal
Hi all, Ram and I are doing fine here in Nepal and the Whitewater Adventures Nepal trip was a lot of fun last year.
The crew were great, Matty, Ruth, Nick and Pete and the water was higher than before and we had a blast; Ram guided the raft down the Upper Bhote Kosi and the team styled everything.
The Tamur was a fantastic finish to the trip, with everyone enjoying the big volume and continuous whitewater all the way down to the confluence of the Sun Kosi.
Please check our website for all the information http://whitewaternepal.com or scroll down to the bottom of the page for the details. Cheers for now, Georgia” …..
That’s it for now, contact us and come over!!! …… Georgia”.
