In 2026, water levels are monitored daily. If the snowmelt in the higher Himalayas is high, the rapids become "fluffier" and more powerful. If the water is low, the river becomes more "rocky" and technical. Both are fun, but they require different strategies. Your guide will adjust the lines they take through the rapids based on the day's flow. It’s why the same 16km stretch can feel completely different if you go in March versus June.
