The Bhote Kosi is known as the River
from Tibet. The trip starts after a peak over the
border into Tibet. The Kathmandu / Lhasa Highway (Friendship
Highway) runs along beside the river. The Bhote Kosi
is regarded as one of the best short white water rafting
trips in the world. It is the steepest river that
is rafted in Nepal, with continuous rapid action making
this river a full-on commitment and a huge adrenaline
rush. This is an ideal trip for those wanting a short,
but intense and thrilling rafting trip. It is better
suited to those who have had some previous rafting
experience.
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.
