Rivers of Central Tibet

Rafting/Kayaking Expedition

Paddle and float across the high Tibetan plateau, experiencing Tibet as few tourists ever will. After four days acclimitising and experiencing the sites of Lhasa, we practice our paddling skills on the Tolung Chu before driving to the spectacular Nyenchen Thanglha range. We’ll experience the granduer of Tibet’s second largest salt lake, Namtso before journeying back across the range to the source of the Reting Tsangpo. The Reting is a wonderful four day journey through the home of yaks and nomads to the famous Reting Monastery. We’ll share our campsites with nomads and have ample opportunity to experience their culture and customs. We then visit Tidrum Nunnery and the hotsprings before rafting the Drigung Chu for two days. We return to Lhasa with a day to spare to paddle the famous Yarlung Tsangpo.
