Topsport Kayaking offers professional guided trips over the Kathmandu Coast to Coast mountain run stage. Our local guides Sam Manson and Daniel Jones know this route inside and out. Our trips are run in small groups to ensure you get the best experience possible with plenty of interaction with your guide. You will get the opportunity to ask plenty of questions, take notes, photos, and even videos that you can review after your trip if you want to.
Our guides are well trained to ensure your safety is the top priority. From river crossings to managing both mountain and bush environments as well as temperamental weather. We carry all the right gear to ensure we are well prepared to look after you.
We cater for all abilities so don't be shy if you think you might be slow. Same goes if your a speedster, you're in the right place. Our team will help save you valuable time on race day with your route choice.
To complete this trip it is highly recommended that you have reasonable fitness level to run/power walk 25km and that you have done some training off road trial running and have found a local spot to practice some rock hopping.
Includes transport to and from Yaldhurst, the edge of Christchurch City (near the airport)
* You will be emailed a full info pack once you have purchased your run.
