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 3 hours bus ride from
Kathmandu. The Bhote Kosi is with out
a doubt the most action packed short white
water run in Nepal. The river drops steeply
offering relentless stretches of class
III-IV white water. If you have never
rafted before and if you have limited
time but desire an adrenaline overload,
then this is a perfect introductory trip.
