Sean Glaccum and Andreas Sommer are partners in Boathouse Nepal, a
Nepali kayaking guide service. In addition to guiding, these guys are
definitely pushing the exploratory envelope in one of the most spectacular
boating playgrounds in the world. I got connected with Sean and Andy
through my German friend Martin Bauer, who hooked up with these guys on a
recent kayaking trip to Nepal. If you are thinking about paddling in
the Himalayas, Andy
and Sean are an excellent resource whether you are looking for class III or class off-the-scale...
One Himalayan playground that Sean and Andy frequent is the Burungdi
River, which
boasts a series of spectacular waterfalls. In addition to these photos
which were sent to me, you can find more Nepal pics
and river descriptions/trips at the
Boathouse Nepal home page, and see more sweet photos of other
waterfalls on
the Burungdi River on the Burungdi page for the excellent German Kayaking site Soulboater.
