The clean and clear rivers of Bhutan are one of the kingdom’s best-kept open secrets. Fed by the Eastern Himalayas, the six rivers (Wang Chhu, Sunkosh, Puna Tsang Chhu, Mangde Chhu, Kuri Chhu, and Dangme Chhu and their tributaries) have been scouted for kayaking and rafting. They cut through high valleys and low plains to meet up with the Brahmaputra River in India.

The natural setting and the sheer variety of the rivers’ courses make up for a unique opportunity to explore Bhutan’s beautiful wilderness.

It is more than a teaser and an invitation to anyone interested in adventure travel. The rivers are plentiful with high currents and depths reaching a maximum of about five meters; at places, they pass gently on and in others the rivers rage through loudly, dominating the environs. Although adventure sports and tourism are relatively recent introductions, it is gaining in popularity.

The sport offers something for everyone: There is easy rafting for beginners and hair-raising runs for the veterans. Besides the rafts and the kayaks, Bhutanese agents also organize walking and trekking expeditions along the scenic river banks. The best time for rafting and kayaking is from March to April and November to December.
