Bhotekoshi River Rafting

Your adventure begins as you drive from Kathmandu to Bhote Koshi which is about a three to four hours drive through Araniko Highway, making it an easy getaway for anyone planning Nepal travel in 2025/26. Along the way, enjoy views of lush hills, terraced fields, and the rushing Bhote Koshi River.

At the rafting start point (usually Sukute or Khadichaur), you’ll gear up and receive a safety briefing from expert guides. Then, hit the water for your first session, an exciting run through Class III-IV rapids. With names like “Jacuzzi” and “Gerbil in the Plumbing,” these rapids deliver a fun, bouncy ride that’s thrilling yet manageable for beginners. Surrounded by steep hills, emerald terraces, and suspension bridges, the scenery is just as unforgettable as the rafting. By late afternoon, you’ll reach the riverside camp, where you can relax, enjoy dinner by the fire, and sleep under the stars.

Wake up to the sound of the river and a fresh mountain breeze. After breakfast at the riverside camp, gear up for another thrilling rafting session. Today’s stretch includes some of Bhote Koshi’s most exciting Class IV-V rapids: fast, technical, and packed with adrenaline. Rapids like “The Great Wall” and “Frog in a Blender” promise intense action set against breathtaking Himalayan scenery. After 2-3 hours on the river, the journey ends near Lamosangu. After changing into dry clothes and enjoying lunch, you'll drive back to Kathmandu, arriving by late afternoon.
