International Whitewater Championship | October 28 – 31st 2025 | Birethanti, Nepal

After nearly a decade of celebrating Nepal’s wild rivers, the Express Series returns for one last dance – the final Modi Khola Express. This will be the grand finale of the legendary whitewater series that began with the Marshyangdi Express in 2015, Bhote Koshi in 2016, and continued with unforgettable years on the Modi Khola.

Each Express event has carried a message: paddle it before it’s gone. As dams and development continue to threaten Nepal’s free-flowing rivers, we gather once more to celebrate what these waters mean – for athletes, for communities, and for the spirit of adventure itself.

Set inside the Annapurna Conservation Area with Mount Machhapuchhre watching over, the Modi Khola Express 2025 will bring together world-class kayakers, local heroes, and river lovers from around the globe. Expect Downriver Sprint, Giant Slalom, and Boatercross, plus music, cultural showcases, food, and the kind of chaos that only river people can create.

But this year, it’s more than a competition – it’s a farewell. The final wave.
Because after 2025, the Express Series will flow on to a new river – a new beginning, a new story to tell.

Join us where it all began. Let’s make the last Modi Khola roar one more time.
