Rafting in Bhote Koshi River |
 |
|
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. |
