Bhote Kosh River Rafting is another world famous river for rafting. The Bhote Koshi originates in the Tibetan plateau and from there it flows down steep gorges to Nepal in the south. Naturally, the landscape it flows through is rugged, adding thrills to the trip. It’s a classified as Class IV and Class III in the lower level.

Rapids: Frog in the Blender, John’s Home, Gerbil in the Plumbing, Liquid Bliss, Dazed & Confused.

Bhote Kosh River Rafting starts with a 3- hour drive from Kathmandu along the Araniko Highway to Bhote Koshi. The drive to the put-in point has its own highlights – views of snow-capped mountains such as Langtang and Dorje Lakpa towards the north of the country. With its steep gradient, it is a fast flowing river that sometimes challenges even the expertise of river guides. The rapids on the Bhote Koshi are highly technical and come one after another in quick succession. At first the Class III rapids are encountered followed by the more difficult Class IV. The river flows through narrow canyons covered in lush green vegetation and from the rocks flow down crystal clear waterfalls. The usual run on this river last from one to two days.

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.
