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.
Day 01: We start our journey from Kathmandu by private bus towards the tibetan border. We make a short tea stop at Dolalghat and continue on two hours puti in point for a early lonch. Then the guides will brief you on the safety aspects of the trip and its time to see what you are made of! We jump straight into grade 4 rapids like Gerbil in the plumbing and Frog in the Blender. By afternoon you will be wide eyed and exhilarated. To finish the day off we have Carnal Knowledge of a Deviant Nature, a huge rock slalom with a 2 meter drop into a hole and a pool! where your mates sit laughing. We exit and the bus drives us back up stream to our campsite.
Day 02: Wake up to the sound of the roaring river and a choice of a hot or cold breakfast. Today we thrill and spill our way down numerous drops and eddies. bump around boulders, occasionally getting stuck on them. Then we enter a narrow canyon and on to the Midnight Special, a gun barrel of a rapid which slams you up against a wall. Next we have The Great Wall, Liquid Bliss and the long, hard class 4 plus rapid Jhon Holmes.
