Bhote
Koshi River Rafting
Just
three hours away from Kathmandu, the Bhote Kosi is without
a doubt the most exciting thing you can do in Nepal without
risking a social disease, and quite possibly one of the best
two-day rafting trips offered anywhere in the world. The Bhote
is a very steep and very continuous mountain stream; a unique
combination of exceptionally fun, challenging rapids without
it ever getting past the point of recreation. It's sort of
like being flushed down a huge open-air toilet, but the Tidy
Bowl Man is your guide and there are no worries.
Emerald green fields are terraced high above the river on
precipitous slopes, curious villagers lining suspension bridges
are amazed as we plunge through cascading waves and chutes
of foam. The beautiful location, thrilling, adrenalin charged
white water makes this one of the favorite rivers we run.
