Bhote Koshi, the main branch of Sunkoshi, is the beautiful for action packed adventure trip with very steep and basically non-stop mountain river only 3 hours drives from Kathmandu offering tow days of intense and challenging river activity. Bhotekoshi known as the River from Tibet can be accessed from Tibet after a peak over the border into Tibet. The Kathmandu / Lhasa 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 great river for beginner rafters and with full of fun for kayakers at all levels. If you have never rafted before and if you have limited time but desire an adrenaline overload, then this is a perfect introductory trip package for you because of the Bhote Kosi being probably the most exciting short rafting trip in Nepal and best white water adventure in the world and has been variously described as:
"Like a pin-ball Machine-and you' re the ball"
"Like being flushed down on open air toilet"
"Expedition River" etc.

With the adventure of Bhote Koshi you also get the chance to observe emerald green fields 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. Visiting an ancient culture, trek in the awe inspiring Himalayas and get a tan - yep the weather is sunny! We love the excitement of this trip and it really is the best available in white water fun. Technically, the upper Bhote Koshi ends just after Barbisae where the Sun koshi joins as a stream from the left. The lower Bhote Koshi rafting starts right from the Lamasangu. The rapids here are a solid class IV- V at high flow, and a more classic III at lower levels. This true adventure can be rafted between October and December and February and April.
