Bhote Koshi is accessible by a three hour drive from Kathmandu along the Arniko Highway. The drive itself to the raft put in point is rewarding as you will get fascinating views of snow clad mountains like Langtang and Dorje Lakpa to the north. Due to the steepness of its gradient and its fast flow, the river even tests the prowess of river guides. The Bhote Koshi rapids are considered highly technical as the rapids appear one after the other in quick succession. The initial phase of the river adventure encounters grade III rapids followed by the more challenging grade IV. The river winds through narrow walled canyons blanketed by lush green vegetation and you can see crystal clear water cascading down the waterfalls that emanate from its crevices.The standard adventure on this river lasts for one to two days.
