Bhote Koshi River Rafting - 1 or 2 Days
The Bhote Kosi 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.
