Bhote Kosi Rafting
Bhote Koshi, translated as "river from Tibet," is the main branch of the Sun Koshi river and is famous for its thrilling white-water rafting opportunities in Nepal. This river originates near the Tibetan border at Kodari and is easily accessible, running parallel to the Arniko Highway from Kathmandu to Lhasa. Its upper valley, particularly above Barabise, is notably narrow with steep sides rising over 2,000 meters, descending into dramatic gorges at river level.
Kali Gandaki Rafting
The beautiful scenery on this remote river makes Kali Gandaki rafting/kayaking trip a favorite among those looking for a short to medium length trip. The Kali Gandaki passes through narrow gorges, alongside tumbling waterfalls and jungle, traditional Magar and Chetri villages, whose inhabitants often venture down to the riverside to meet the rafters with traditional 'Namaste!'. There are superb opportunities to see the Annapurna Mountain range and a variety of wildlife and temples on River banks.
