About Thuli Bheri

This river still remains one of the best kayak expeditions in the world along with its challenging and hugely enjoyable whitewater in quite possibly the most exotic and remote region of Nepal. Thuli Bheri drains the Dolpo district, one of the most traditional areas in the Himalaya. Obviously, it offers a great option for kayaking expedition as there is literally 100+ km of continuous whitewater in the upper reaches of the river followed by another 100 km of easier rapids in the paddle out.
