There is not much time to look at
the mountain scenery once on this
river! However, en route there is
an excellent opportunity to stop in
Dulikhel to admire the stunning views.
The Bhote Kosi is regarded as one
of the best short white water rafting
trips in the world. It is the steepest
river that is rafted in Nepal, with
continuous rapid action making this
river a full-on commitment and a huge
adrenaline rush.
This is an ideal trip for those wanting
a short, but intense and thrilling
rafting trip. It is better suited
to those who have had some previous
rafting experience.
