The harmony of Tibet and the Himalayas
The Bhote Koshi is one of the best white water adventure in
Nepal (class 4 to 5). Your journey to the starting point takes
you through the mountains, past a vista of traditional Tibetan
life. Once you’re on the river though, there is no time to stop
and admire the scenery, as you and your fellow rafters negotiate
some of the fastest and steepest rapids in Nepal. This true
adventure can be rafted between October and December and
February and April.
The River
It's a 3 hours bus ride from Kathmandu. The Bhote Kosi is with
out a doubt the most action packed short white water run in
Nepal. The river drops steeply offering relentless stretches of
class III-IV white water. Boulder gardens, small waterfalls,
steep chutes and 90 degree bends are just some of the obstacles
to be overcome. Like the Marsyangdi, this river is not typical
of the big volume waters of the Himalayan, it is steep and
technical and requires a reactive crew.
The fun doesn’t stop there at the end of an action packed day,
