The
Bhotekoshi is known as the River from Tibet and you can
start a trip after a peak over the border into Tibet.
The Kathmandu / Lhasa Highway (AKA Friendship Highway,
Arniko Highway) runs along beside the river. You can run
a day trip or do a two-day expedition and run parts of
the river twice. It's a great beginner river for rafters
and fun for kayakers at all levels.
Bhote Koshi is the beautiful for adventure trip with
very steep and basically non-stop mountain river only 3
hours drives from Kathmandu offering tow days of intense
and challenging river activity. You are beginning to
understand what this great trip in Nepal offers you
nothing less than the ride of a lifetime. If you have
never rafted before and if you have limited time but
desire an adrenaline overload, then this is a perfect
introductory trip package for you because of the Bhote
Kosi is probably the most exciting short rafting trip in
Nepal and best white water adventure in the world has
been variously described as:
"Like a pin-ball Machine-and you' re the ball"
"Like being flushed down on open air toilet"
"Expedition River" etc.
With the adventure of Bhote Koshi you also get the
chance to observe emerald green fields are terraced high
above the river on precipitous slopes, curious villagers
lining suspension bridges are amazed as we plunge
through cascading waves and chutes of foam. Visiting an
ancient culture, trek in the awe inspiring Himalayas and
get a tan - yep the weather is sunny! We love the
excitement of this trip and it really is the best
available in whitewater fun. The rapids here are a solid
class IV- V at high flow, and a more classic III at
lower levels. This true adventure can be rafted between
October and December and February and April.
