Comprehensive Trek Guide

Rafting is the recreational outdoor activity which uses an inflatable raft to navigate a river. One of the very famous adventure sports in Nepal as well as the world.

Bhote Koshi is one of the wildest rivers with the tremendous possibility of rafting and kayaking. Rafting on the Bhote Koshi is a full-body experience. It is an adventure sport which much more than simply paddling forward and backwards.

Bhote Koshi originates in the Tibetan plateau and flows down steep gorges to Nepal in the south providing wildest and steepest action rafting route for the adventure hearts. Only three hours drive from Kathmandu to Bhote Koshi can give a remarkable adrenaline rush to the adventure seeker.

So hop onto the raft and sail through the wildest current of Bhote Koshi which is sure to give you an awesome time in Nepal and story to tell to your friends back home.

 

Tipping Recommendation

We recommend allocating 10-15% of your total tour cost to tipping guides, drivers, and other hardworking staff who ensure your experience is unforgettable. While tipping is not mandatory, it is a meaningful way to support the seasonal workers who dedicate themselves to making your trip extraordinary.

By booking with us and participating in the tipping culture, you are directly contributing to Nepal’s local economy and helping sustain the tourism workforce. This support is crucial in retaining talent within the country and addressing challenges like brain drain.

Your generosity makes a lasting impact—thank you!
