Overview
For adrenaline seekers, the Bhote Koshi offers Nepal's most intense white water rafting experience. Known as the "River from Tibet," this glacial-fed river delivers non-stop Class IV-V rapids in a dramatic gorge setting.
The Bhote Koshi is considered one of the most challenging commercially rafted rivers in the world. Dropping an average of 80 feet per mile, it provides continuous technical rapids with names like Big Dipper, Jaws, and The Wall. The turquoise glacial waters rush through narrow canyon walls, creating an unforgettable adventure.
Located just 3 hours from Kathmandu near the Tibet border, this 2-day expedition includes overnight camping by the riverside. The first day covers the most intense section with back-to-back Class IV-V rapids. The second day continues with more rapids before finishing near the famous Last Resort bungee jump.
This trip is recommended for physically fit adventure seekers with some prior rafting experience. The expert guides are highly trained in swift water rescue and navigation of technical rapids. All safety equipment meets international standards.
