This river is one of the most fun things you can do right out of the Kathmandu and a great way to get an adrenaline fix during the low water months.
One of the best short rafting trips. River Bhote Koshi (Grade 4 to 5) is a two –day run of pure adventure. The rafting site is located only three hours from Kathmandu. Twenty- Six Kilometers of continuous white water soaks rafters as they shoot through a veritable maze of canyons and boulders. It is the steepest river rafted in Nepal and required a lot of concentration. Starting above Barabise, you raft down to the dam at Lamosangu.
