Bhotekoshi River is perhaps one of world’s best rivers for rafting. The starting point of Bhotekoshi River is Borderland Resort, near Nepal-Tibet border, just about 3 to 4 hours of drive from Kathmandu.
The river has magnificent setting of Himalayas and nature as its backdrop. Those with love for nature and wildlife would love to raft down this beautiful river.
Bhotekoshi is a technically challenging river with powerful waves, big holes and fast rapids. It is graded on 4-5 scale, which makes up for its popularity. This river is more suitable for experienced rafters who would like to get that extra adrenaline.
