Bhotekoshi River

Bhote Koshi River is known as the river from Tibet and you can start a trip right beneath the frontier. Kathmandu / Friendship bridge / Lhasa highway leads beside the river. You can do one day or two days rafting expedition and it’s great river for both rafter and kayakers for all levels.  A short drive from Kathmandu takes you through fascinated landscape with basically nonstop mountain river. If you are never rafted before and if you have limited time but would like to experience introductory wild white water rafting, Bhote Koshi river is the perfect choice which is variously described as:

• Like a pin ball Machine and you’re the ball 

• Like being flushed down on the open air toilet

• Expedition river

Amazing view as we plunge through cascading waves and chutes of foam. The rapids here a solid class IV, V at high flow. This true adventure can be rafted between October – December and February – April.
