Join SSI for a 14-day expedition-style paddling and packrafting training across Nepal. This immersive, multi-river journey combines world-class whitewater with overland expedition travel, linking remote valleys, diverse river systems, and Himalayan terrain into one continuous adventure — from first put-in to final take-out. Built for paddlers ready to operate in complex, international expedition environments, participants develop real-world expedition systems across multiple objectives: river travel, logistics, movement between drainages, and team operations in remote terrain. This expedition builds the judgment, adaptability, and leadership required to operate across dynamic landscapes—where rivers, trails, and terrain merge into a single expedition flow. This is not a single river trip. It is a full-spectrum Himalayan expedition!
10 days $3200 USD
This training will take place in remote mountainous regions of Taiwan. These are small, highly technical rivers, with endless rapids, narrow canyons, and beautiful scenery. Taiwan is a Semi-Tropical (in the North) Island with thousands of rivers, over 100 wild hot springs, and millions of waterfalls. The terrain is very steep compared to anywhere in the US, and the jungles are thick. It’s one of the most beautiful and exciting places in the world to packraft. We will packraft through a series of rivers with different mineral compositions, making them teal green or crystal clear and blue, in deep valleys, through narrow canyons, and over hundreds of rapids.
7 days $1995 USD
Set in the towering limestone canyons of the legendary La Venta River and built for paddlers ready to step into expedition leadership, participants apply real-world planning, logistics, and group management skills in a dynamic, rain-fed river system. This course develops the confidence and judgment required to lead self-supported expeditions—at home or abroad—while navigating the unique challenges of international travel and remote river environments. This is expedition leadership training in its rawest form—earned mile by mile, deep in the jungle.
