Details

Tumbling from the snow-capped peaks of Tibet, the Bhote Kosi river provides some of the most exciting rafting and kayaking in Nepal, and is quite possibly one of the best short river trips offered anywhere in the world.

Rafting on the Bhote Kosi is a full body experience, much more than simply paddling forward and backward. Probably the most common paddle command on the Bhote Kosi River is: “hold on!”
