The Bhote Koshi River is known as the River from Tibet because you can start a trip after a peak over the border into Tibet. And makes an adventure trip for all visitors with its very steep banks and non-stop fast flowing Mountain River, which is only 3 hours’ drive from Kathmandu regardless of their experience. Because the Kathmandu / Lhasa Highway (Araniko Highway) runs along beside the river means you can do this in just one to two days of action packed adventure. It’s a great beginner river for rafters and fun for kayakers at all levels because 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. 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 you plunge through cascading waves and chutes of foam. The excitement of this trip is available in white-water fun as 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.
