Drawing amazing and mystifying power from high in Bhot (Tibet) the river Bhote Koshi, tumbles into Nepal through breathtaking valleys. Glacier water from the 10th highest mountain in the world, Shisa Pangma, carves a steep and direct drop at the top that gradually eases to more placid streams and the calmer pools with a 46-km run at the Lamosunga dam. The rapids here are a solid class IV- V at high flow, and a more classic III at lower levels.
This amazing river has everything that the more confident rafter is after - thrills and spills and plenty of adrenaline aplenty. The river drops from the Tibetan plateau gaining volume and momentum as it falls. Snowmelt and the monsoon rains of June to September swell the river to a huge size making for challenging river adventures for the brave. A journey along its length is an adrenaline pumping affair.
Activities in Bhote Koshi River
Rafting on the river is generally a 1-day affair. It is easily reached lying just 3 hours from Kathmandu. Choose a reliable outfit with a good, safe reputation: poor equipment and leadership are a recipe for disaster.
Relaxing
Grab a chance to take a rest in between the many Class 3 and 4 rapids on the river whilst you can - there are more ahead!
Getting Around
The best way of reaching the river is on a rafting trip or on an organised saty at one of the lodges in the area, like the Borderlands Resort, where accommodation is included in the price.
