Bhote Koshi originates from the melting snows of Zhangzanbo (8,012 m) Glacier in Tibet. The river is extremely wild and its gradient is the steepest in Nepal. You can finish rafting on Bhote Koshi in a single day. So, if you are short of time, yet crave for extreme adrenaline rush, then this is the package for you.The river is very challenging and even a look down to the river will make most people feel dizzy. If you are seeking for a one day adventure that provides extreme thrill, then this is the river for you.

For a single day trip, we will be rafting and kayaking in the lower Bhote Koshi. The river is full of class 3 rapids, hence the entire trip will be filled with excitement. The gradient of this river is 15 meters for every kilometer. Rafters need not have much experience but this river is only for experienced kayakers. The river passes through narrow canyons that are full of rich vegetation.
