From there the staff will guide you to your luxury tourist bus from which you will start your journey towards the southeastern part of the Kathmandu Valley. As we pass Bhaktapur you will see a lot of Nepali culture and history along the way, continuing on we pass Kavre districts lush green forests and reach Dolalghat. We ride alongside the river until we reach the confluence of Bhote Koshi River and Tama Koshi river located near the famous Balephi Bazar. Our drive continues upstream as we leave Balephi bazar behind and cross a bridge in Khadichaur until we reach our destination in Lamosangu. You are welcomed by our crew upon your arrival to Lamosangu, after a slight rest our rafting crew will then start their briefing, teaching you about the safety measures and the joys that will await us the next day. Beneath the peaceful sun in the Koshi Hydro Power station, our crew will set up tents alongside the massive river beach. After this the Rafting crew leader will well equip you with the necessary equipment and start the trip that lies ahead. The adventure begins with a thrilling 5+ rapid for the first 2 hours of the trip and then slows down to a 4+ rapid during the last half of the trip. The grade 5+ and 4+ rapids provide you with extreme thrill and enjoyment of the river, though it's a challenge it's all worth it at the end of the rafting experience. After the challenging 3 hour raft we reach our end destination, from which we will drive back up 3 hours till we reach our camp for the night. The evening consists of a lot of playing beach volleyball, soccer, and tons of other activities that our crew will have prepared. We end the night with a campfire, enjoying the barbeque and dancing alongside the music, as we enter the tent for the night.
The next morning our crew will provide you with a wonderful breakfast alongside the river. After breakfast we start our rafting from Lamosagu. Today we will navigate the river starting with a 5+ rapid and continually slowing down to rapid 4,3,2. In between our trip we will encounter lots of beautiful campsites, beautiful farming terraces with healthy green vegetation and colorful settlements on both of the edges of the Bhote Koshi River. After crossing the challenging confluence of the Bhote Koshi River and Tama Khoshi River we paddle our way down the calm river passing through dense forests that lie beside the shores of the river. We pass alongside Sukute Beach, a well renowned campsite and a popular holiday destination amongst the Nepali people.
