The Sun Kosi river runs through Nepal and offers the most diverse views of any of the locations on this list. Located in the foothills of the infamous Himalayas, the northern parts of the river might be a little chilly. But moving south, towards the equator, the water is warm and clear. It's actually the warmest location on this list, which is perfect for individuals who want to view white sandy beaches on their kayaking adventure. One nine-day kayaking trip promises views of jungles, beaches, wildlife, and temples! Tourists especially love the region due to the alternating water patterns: big bouncy rapids followed by flatter areas for all to enjoy. Visitors who take the trip to Tibetan territory can expect options to camp on the white sand beaches and enjoy waterfalls along their journey. On top of that, visitors can expect delicious local food, vibrant culture, and friendly locals and guides to help them along the way, making this river a great expedition for any beginner or expert kayaker.
