White Water Rafting in Punakha with Families and Friends

In Bhutan, White Water Rafting is popular in the Pho Chu (Male river) and Mo Chu (Female river) in Punakha valley. Punakha being a wide beautiful valley with almost sub-tropical climate flanked by paddy fields is perfect for water sports like rafting and kayaking. Both the male and female rivers provides excellent opportunities for rafting starting from Class I and II for beginners and children, to Class IV and V which is considered difficult and extremely difficult. Whichever you choose, as you ride through the beautiful landscape you will see the endangered White Bellied Heron, Otters, Ruddyshel duck, Kingfisher, Cormorant and many others.

 

With a dedicated and experienced crew with all gears for maximum safety, soak in the beautiful views of the valley from the river as you deliberately hit giant rapids and get splashed by the icy cold river. The White Water Rafting can be enjoyed by all including children, grandparents and energetic adventurers and is highly recommended for all visiting the beautiful Punakha valley.
