Bhotekoshi River Rafting: 01-02 Days

The river Bhote Koshi lays just 3 hours drive away from Kathmandu. The river is without a doubt the most exiting thing you can do without excessive risk and in relative comfort. It is one of the best two days river journey in the world. The river is very steep and has a very continuous stream. A unique combination of exceptionally fun and challenging rapids without it ever getting past the point of recreation. Along the river side emerald green field are terraced high above the river on sheer slopes, curious villagers lining suspension bridges are amazed as we plunge through cascading waves and chutes of foam.
