It's a 3 hours bus ride from Kathmandu. The Bhote Kosi is with
out a doubt the most action packed short white water run in Nepal. The river
drops steeply offering relentless stretches of class III-IV white water. Boulder
gardens, small waterfalls, steep chutes and 90 degree bends are just some of the
obstacles to be overcome. Like the Marsyangdi, this river is not typical of the
big volume waters of the Himalayan, it is steep and technical and requires a
reactive crew. |

The fun doesn’t stop there at the end of an action packed day,
relax in unspoiled surroundings on the beach.

Day 02 |
Meet at the office as per time arranged by your
expedition leader at the pre-departure meeting. Then we travel by our
private bus to the river starting point of the trip.
This is a spectacular drive through villages and if weather permits, you
will have fantastic mountain views i.e. Ganesh Himal, Langtang etc. Upon
arrival in the camp lunch will be served. After early lunch your
expedition leader will deliver a safety talk and provide all paddling gear
for the trip. First day rafting provides about three and half hour of pure
white water. After a long series of class 3 rapids we drop into the first
class 4 drop known as Gerbil In The Plumbing. From here there is a stretch
of class 3 whitewater and then we come to the crux of the day, which is a
long, technical rapid called 'Frog in a Blender'. After this rapid we settle
down for about twenty feet, and then it’s back into the soup with a long
series of class 3+/4- drops which lead us into a nifty little rapid called
Carnal Knowledge of a Deviant Nature. The remaining ten kilometers of river
is a non-stop series of class 3 and 4 drops terminating into short pools
with the next drop just a few feet away. The river flows through a
beautiful narrow canyon with lush green vegetation and waterfalls coming in
from the steep stone walls. At the bottom of this stretch is a rapid called ExLax. Just before we hit the village of Barabise we load all
the boats onto our bus and drive back to our camp, change your
wet clothes,
enjoy the scenery and late evening have dinner and camp. (A, B, L, D) |

Day 03 |
Early
morning, have hot drinks and breakfast then pack your gears. You have the
second chance to show how your raft team can work well together in
challenging rapids. We have lunch on the river and continue the action
until the take out point. We run the top stretch again in the morning,
though most people don’t recognize it the second time through. Today instead
of getting out at Barabise we continue on down through the center of town
and onto a short flat stretch. Upon reaching the dam, the entire gradient of
the last kilometer fulminates into fifty meters of incredibly steep and
technical rapid known as 'The Great Wall'. 'The Great Wall’s one redeeming
feature is that there is a pool at the bottom, because right after the pool
is an incredible rapid called 'Liquid Bliss', which leads directly into a
rapid called 'Fake Right Go Left', which leads directly into another rapid
called 'My God, What To Do?'. The trip ends with a bang on a long series of
drops known as 'Dazed and Confused'. Without a doubt this is some of the
finest whitewater rafting to be had anywhere. Our trip ends by mid-noon.
Once you get their load up all the kits on bus, drive back to Ktm. (A, B, L) |
