Lhasa River Rafting (Kyi Chu)
Class:1 float trip
Approx. 20 km and 2-3 hours on the water
The Lhasa River is the perfect run for those looking for a spectacular scenic trip and not too much action. It is an ideal way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and gain a different perspective of Lhasa and the Lhasa Valley. We use oar rafts, which means the guide does all the work and all you have to do is sit back, enjoy the view and take photos. You do not have to be acclimatized to undertake this trip, as there is very little physical exertion required!
Grade 5: A big step up from grade 4. Very difficult and dangerous whitewater. Definite possibility of injury if the raft overturns and/or someone swims the rapid. For experts only.
Grade 6: The absolute extreme. By definition, un-runnable. Definite risk of death!!
