Bhote Koshi River Rafting in Nepal
A short bus ride from Kathmandu brings us to "Sukute Beach Adventure Camp" (7o kms drive from Kathmandu)) on the Kathmandu - Tibet road. Further 26 km from the camp is the put-in of the most action packed short white water run in Nepal. The river drops steeply offering relentless stretches of class 3 - 4 white water. Boulder gardens, small waterfalls, steep chutes and 90-degree ends are just some of the obstacles to be overcome. Like the Marshyangdi, this river is not typical of the big volume waters of the Himalaya, it is steep, technical and requires a reactive crew.

Itinerary
Pre-departure meeting will be held at the office in Kathmandu at 6 pm the night before to clear any questions.
Day 01: We travel by our private bus to 'Sukute Beach Adventure Camp' (KM 69), 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, the Camp Manager will brief and assign you the room, and then lunch will be served. After lunch, your expedition leader will deliver a safety talk and provide all paddling gear for the trip. Then we drive 22 km up to the starting point of the trip, we raft the first 10 km of the MOST exciting stretch of the river and then return to the start to rerun the same stretch the next day rather than continue with only half a day paddling to the end. Drive back to our camp, change your wet clothes, go for hot drinks, rum punch, enjoy the scenery and late evening have buffet dinner. Have fun and chill out.
Day 02: Early morning, have hot drinks and breakfast then pack your gears, we drive back 22 km up stream. 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. Our trip is over in here, by mid-noon. Once you get there load up all the kits on bus, drive back about half an hour to resort. Have lunch, relax for a while and drive back to Kathmandu.
