per person

From afar this river looks little more than a mountain stream, alas , it has one of the steepest descent on a paddle-able river in Nepal and it’s huge water flow tumbles down from the Tibetan high plains and makes some of the wildest rapids in the world. At its height, after the monsoon, this river is a 16 km white water jungle and one hell of a wild ride, at its low it’s a formidable splash and bash trip. for sure the Bhote Koshi is one of the most exciting rivers in Nepal and found only three hours from Kathmandu, it’s a must do for all adrenaline junkies.

The town lies on Araniko Highway – the 114 km-long highway which connects the capital city Kathmandu to the Chinese border in the north. There is a temple named Kapileshwor Mahadev named after Hindu god Shiva which is the main attraction of the town. It is a beautiful town habitat by people between two Koshi tributaries namely Bhotekoshi and Balephi which are very famous tourist hideout for adventure tourism like rafting, kayaking, and camping.
