Bhote Koshi River Rafting. Bhote Koshi River roughly translates as a “river from Tibet” so there are quite a lot of rivers with this name in Nepal. This Bhote Koshi is the main branch of the Sun Koshi in the best white water rafting in Nepal. The river is followed by the Araniko highway so access and scouting are relatively easy. The upper valley above Bahrabise is impressively narrow with steep hillsides shooting up over 2000m from the river. And there are some dramatic and scenic gorges down at river level. Just to drive up the highway and look at the river is like reading an erotic novel – it quickens the blood and excited the mind.

Technically, the upper Bhote Koshi ends just after Barbisae where the Sun Koshi joins as a stream from the left: The lower Bhote Koshi rafting starts right from the Lamasangu.

It’s a great beginner river for rafters and fun for kayakers at all levels. If you have never rafted before and if you have limited time but desire an adrenaline overload, then this is a perfect trip package for you because Bhote Kosi is probably the most exciting short rafting trip in Nepal.
