Water Rafting Tours

Almost every tour, 5 days and longer, includes visit to beautiful subtropical valley of Punakha. Two rivers, Mo Chhu or Pho Chhu, dubbed also as Female and Male rivers, confluences here to create strong watercourse Punatsangchu.

  • Beginners, seniors or children would definitely enjoy the Female river, Mo Chhu. Rafting starts below Khamsum lhakhang monastery, common spot of our sightseeing. On the route of 7 km, there are 10 rapids graded as 2- to 2+ (easy). The ride is finished just before the beautiful Punakha dzong.
  • Experienced and thrill seekers will enjoy the Male river, Pho Chhu. Here there are around 15 rapids of 2 to 4 grade on the route of 11 kilometers. The finish is before the Khurutang town. In low water situation, the rafting might start 5 kilometers down by the river, making the route shorter and bit less exciting.
