Thin Air White Water

The story of an extraordinary adventure

Twelve intrepid explorers risk their lives in a double-pronged attack on Mount Everest – only this time going down. During the daring Dudh Kosi expedition to descend the world’s highest and most treacherous river by kayak, they shoot some of the fiercest white water in the world. Given vital support by a team of microlight aircraft, they face harsh conditions and come close to death several times, such as when a pilot crashes headlong into the mountain-side, and lives. At one point, the kayakers are cut off for nine days with food for only two people. With breathtaking footage, Thin Air, White Water tells the story of this extraordinary – and ultimately successful – venture.
