| The course starts out with a few days at the Royal Beach Camp. We start with the basics, depending on the level of your kayaking experience. If you have never tried kayaking this is where it starts. The first days covers how to get in and out of the boat, basic paddling and rescue techniques and essential safety training. We also train ferry glide (crossing the river) and getting in and out of eddies. We continue with learning the Eskimo-roll, surfing waves and advanced paddling- and rescue techniques. If you have previous paddling experience we start where you are at and develop your skills. We paddle up to class III white water on our "home-river" Trisuli. When we feel comfortable with our basic skills we set off from the camp and go river running! We continue practicing our skills as we paddle three different rivers in the remaining days. Trisuli, Seti and Budi Gandaki are offering up to class III thrilling whitewater. The river running part of the course is done expedition style with self-support and we are camping on the riverbank! A true Himalayan Adventure! |  |
| Experience needed: | This course can be done with no previous experience but is also for the intermediate paddlers or the one who paddles Himalayan rivers for the first time. The instructor will adjust the level of paddling according to your previous experience and development. |
| Instructors / guides: | Professional kayak instructors of the Himalayan Extreme Sports Institute with many years experience teach courses. The instructors are SRT- KRT- and BCU-certified and have thorough river rescue qualifications. The institute also train kayak instructors and raft guides which means that on most courses and trips we have kayakers in training acting as assistant guides on the river. The trainees are good peddlers and provide extra security. |
