BHOTEKOSI
'Our
Favorite'
2 days,
Grade
4-5
The
Bhotekosi
is best
described
as a
liquid
rush! As
steep as
it gets
with
constant
rapids,
this
two-day
trip is
a full
body
workout
and the
skill
and
determination
of the
paddle
crew is
tested
to the
limit.
The
Bhotekosi,
roughly
translated
as
'river
from
Tibet',
although
little
more
than a
mountain
stream,
has one
of the
steepest
gradients
of any
raftable
river in
Nepal.
Snow
Giants
loom
over as
the
clean,
fresh
water
roars
and
dodges
it's way
through
narrow
canyons
and the
remnants
of a
huge,
Giants'
boulder-tossing
contest!
Shooting
down
glistening
shoots
into
bubbling,
frothing
pools,
the raft
twists,
turns
and
plunges
to the
exhilarated
shrieks
of the
crew.
The
Bhote
Kosi is
one of
the most
technical
rivers
in
Nepal,
providing
continuous,
challenging
rapids
from
start to
finish.
It has
been
likened
to a
pinball
machine
and
you're
the
ball,
which is
certainly
how it
feels,
with one
intense
rapid
after
another.
It is
exhilarating
and fun
and we
just
love
running
it! Full
of nasty
drops,
pour
over and
huge
bumping
boulders;
with an
experienced
guide it
is a
great
first
river
for
beginners,
while
having
more
than
enough
to
challenge
and
thrill
an
experienced
rafter!
Our
guides
know
exactly
where to
put the
raft to
get the
most out
of this
river
and to
avoid
spills.
Come
play
with us
here and
you will
be
hooked
on
rafting
for
life.
The
Bhotekosi
is
without
a doubt
one of
the most
exciting
short
rafting
trips in
the
world!
Is It
For Me?
Ready
for
action,
ready
for fun?
If this
sounds
like you
then
this
river is
the one.
No
experience
necessary
but you
must be
prepared
to
either
throw
yourself
into the
paddling
or get
ready
for a
flip!
Best
