Bhotekoshi River Rafting

Physical and mental preparedness

You must be adequately prepared before beginning your Bhotekoshi rafting journey. Keeping yourself physically active with mild exercises like cardio or jogging can help make you physically capable for the trip. Likewise, you must learn about the rafting features, challenges, etc., for mental preparation. When we talk about mental and physical preparedness, you cannot leave out the fact that you should be very confident.

Get all the gear necessary from your side

Rafters must prepare all the necessary gear and equipment for their rafting trip. While most essential gear will be made available through us, you need to tick everything in the checklist we’ve provided below. In addition to this, you should not neglect the importance of wearing safety gear like helmets and life jackets, as they will protect you in the most unimaginable situations and will also create a sense of security as you enjoy the journey. Also, make sure to follow your guide’s instructions throughout your trip!

Learn to hold the paddle properly

Be sure to hold the paddle properly. You can get a brief introduction about the paddles and how to keep them to ensure safety and comfort throughout the journey. Rafters will be given pre rafting guidance that will help them know how to hold the shaft correctly, position the blade, and paddle together with your rafting group. Following the tips with attention will help you avoid any kind of accidents or injuries.

Don’t drink and raft

Be careful about not drinking and rafting. Keep in mind that these two activities don’t go together. In fact, even a sip may cause you to become tipsy and fall into something unfortunate along the way. When you drink and raft, chances are, you may trip or fall off the raft, or even worse, meet with an accident in some way. There is also an increased possibility of delayed responses to what your instructor says after having been drunk.

Why Bhote Koshi should be on the Bucket List for Rafting?

The Bhotekoshi rafting experience is preferable, mostly because of its duration. Also, Bhotekoshi is one of the major tributaries of the Sapta Koshi River. Hence, it makes for a great whitewater river rafting experience. In addition to this, the destination is very close to Kathmandu, from where you’ll begin your journey, which means the road trip won’t tire you either.

You can experience the adventure of a lifetime with Class III to Class IV/ V rapids. And, since the rapids are higher in this river, adrenaline junkies may prefer the Bhotekoshi rafting tour over another rafting destination at Trishuli, which is also quite close to Pokhara. As you go from Kathmandu to the Tibetan Border, you will be able to witness variations of culture from one point to another. Moreover, rafters can also raft through green forests and cliffs, beautifying the rafting location.
