Overview
Learn to Kayak with the Pros! Ultimate Descents Nepal runs a series of kayak clinics each season. These introductory courses are designed for those with little or no previous kayaking experience. Throughout the 4-day clinic you will learn all the basic skills of kayaking, including: paddle strokes, Eskimo rolls, Eskimo rescue and the art of reading whitewater. While the priority is on safety, we don’t forget the joys of a more intimate relationship with the magical Himalayan whitewater!
Our instructors are some of the best whitewater paddlers and kayak instructors in the world, with a strong history of running rivers worldwide. The clinics are supported by state-of-the-art rafting equipment, which carries all personal gear, camping supplies and other needed items down the river to our campsite. The Sun Koshi River is one of the most beautiful and pristine rivers in the Himalayas. With dense, remote jungles, exquisite, sandy beaches and Class II–IV whitewater runs, this is the perfect river for beginner kayakers to gain the skills needed for later kayaking expeditions.
