Bhote Koshi River Rafting

The Bhotekosi, roughly translated as river from Tibet, although little more than a mountain stream, has one of the steepest gradients of any raftable river in Nepal. Snow giants loom over as the clean, fresh water roars and dodges its way through narrow canyons and the remnants of a huge, giant's boulder-tossing contest! Shooting down glistening shoots into bubbling, frothing pools, the raft twists, turns and plunges to the exhilarated shrieks of the crew. The Bhote Kosi is one of the most technical rivers in Nepal, providing continuous, challenging rapids. It has been likened to a pinball machine and you're the ball, which is certainly how it feels, with one intense rapid after another. It is exhilarating and fun and we just love running it!

Full of nasty drops, pourovers and huge bumping boulders, with an experienced guide it is a great first river for beginners, while having more than enough to challenge and thrill an experienced rafter! Our guides know exactly where to put the raft to get the most out of this river and to avoid spills. Come play with us here and you will be hooked on rafting for life. The Bhotekosi is without a doubt one of the most exciting short rafting trips in the world!
