River Rafting in Tibet

Rafting trip in Tibet will be amazing and can be added to any of our standard itineraries. You can just choose which river trip you would like to join and we will adjust the itinerary and price according to that. Most suitable time to go rafting is between 1st of June to 30th September, which is monsoon season of Tibet. These are the summer months in Tibet and are the best time to raft due to warmer weather and good water levels. Of course water levels and weather can change rapidly over here so be prepared for an adventure!

Insider Tips: Due to the latest regulation, whitewater rafting is now not available for tourists, for safety concerns. (updated, Aug, 28, 2017)

And about your physical, if you are not too fit then smaller rivers like Lhasa River and Tulong River are better and if you are experienced and want to go for adventure then other bigger rivers are recommonded. If you have only just arrived in Lhasa and are not acclimatized, please choose an easy trip like the Lhasa River or Tolung Chu. To participate in any of our more difficulty whitewater trips you must have spent a minimum of 2 - 4 days in Lhasa or at high altitude to ensure you are sufficiently acclimatized.
