Rafting in Bhote Koshi River
2 days
Grade 4-5
The Bhotekosi is best described as a liquid rush! As steep as it gets with
constant rapids, this two-day trip is a full body workout and the skill and
determination of the paddle crew is tested to the limit. 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!
