Bhote Koshi is the beautiful for
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. You are beginning to understand what this
great trip in Nepal offers you nothing less than the
ride of a lifetime. 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 Koshi is probably
the most exciting short rafting trip in Nepal and best
white water adventure in the world 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 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. 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 whitewater
fun. 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. |

Safety |
• Safety is the most important
part of any river trip. Choosing
a professional veteran rafting
company is the first step. So it
helps to abide by the following
tips:
• Pick your river with care.
Seek information from a rafting
agency, local experts, and
literature on river levels and
difficulty.
• There should be a minimum of
two rafts per trip, so that one
can help when a fall happens
from the other.
• Carry first-aid kit, survival
and rescue gear.
• Check to see that end loops
and the leash are adequate
before you push off. This makes
it easier to keep hold of your
boat when swimming big rapids,
and also in the event of rescue.
• Be a team person, paddle
synchronously.
• For boats, paddles and
helmets, loud colors are
recommended.
• Wear life jackets and helmets,
properly too.
• Keep your feet and arms inside
the raft at all time.
• When you fall off into a
rapid, float on your back, with
your feet downstream. |
