Experience the wilds and majesty of kayaking Nepal rivers through the photos and stories of TRU Adventure Studies students who took the trip earlier this year.
Every year adventure students at Thompson River University must complete a multi-week expedition in their chosen sport. This year they wanted to challenge themselves to a more experiential international expedition. They prepared themselves to descend 3 majestic rivers in Nepal. For 3 weeks they kayaked and rafted the Bhote Kosi, Upper Sun Kosi, and Sun Kosi rivers.
Students pushed their whitewater kayaking and leadership abilities on some of the highest rivers in the world while representing the TRU Adventure Studies Department. This expedition was used as an instrument to learn what it takes to pull off an expedition through the planning, execution and successful completion. Through interaction with local guides and experts, the Nepal Expedition achieved field-based education, while promoting a cultural exchange of customs, ideologies and technical skills.
