Nu River is a large river flowing from north to south in southwest China, Yunnan province, originating from Northern Tibet. Its total length is about 2100 kilometers, and it is one of the few large rivers in the world that has hardly been dammed on the main stream, creating a perfect environment for Whitewater Rafting on a free flowing river!
Gaoligong Mountains are a north-south oriented mountain range in Western Yunnan with a vertical height difference of over 4500 meters. Its spectacular natural landscape is a global biodiversity hotspot and protected nature area.
The Nujiang Canyon and Gaoligong Mountains are both part of the Three Parallel Rivers region, a United Nations World Natural Heritage Site since 2003. With rivers and rainforests, canyons and mountains, the region also has 16 ethnic groups with their own cultural characteristics living over a short stretch of 100km.
Nu River is known as the “Whitewater Paradise” amongst top athletes in the world’s rafting industry (especially in kayaking), and several international competitions have been held here. Summer is the rainy season in Yunnan, which means that the rivers are too wild to receive us, water activities are only possible during the winter months.
Our Whitewater Rafting activity is suitable for everyone, no matter if you have previous experience in rafting, or not. Our captain and his professional team have been drifting on this river for many years and dozens of times, they have selected the Baoshan section as it is suitable for beginners. Depending on the group, the captain will know how to navigate the rafting vessel through the rapids, in order to bring every participant the maximum of excitement and fun, while keeping everyone safe.
