Bhutan – White Water

Steve is joined by whitewater kayakers Darren Clarkson-King, Sal Montgomery, James Bebbington and Chencho Drukpa, to help ensure a safe passage through Bhutan’s intense rapids. Before beginning their expedition, they survey their route by land to get a better sense of what they might encounter along their journey, including dangerous “stoppers" which can pull kayakers underwater.

Steve partakes in a Buddhist tradition and toasts the spirits of the river before beginning his expedition in Bhutan.

Fighting some of the most intense rapids yet, the team comes across a large drop during their journey. James Bebbington analyzes the drop by land to decide whether or not they should move forward by kayak or will need to proceed by foot to find safer waters.

Expedition cameraman James Covington runs the Chamkachu River and tries to get into all the places that other cameras can’t get to. He discusses the challenges he has faced while on Expedition and how he overcame these.
