Bhote Koshi River, Sindhupalchok · Bagmati
"Class IV-V whitewater 3hr from Kathmandu — Nepal's most adrenaline-packed day trip"
The Bhote Koshi tumbles out of Tibet through a steep gorge to deliver some of Nepal's most consistent Class IV-V rapids. The 28km run takes you through 10+ named rapids with playful names like "Liquid Bliss" and "Wet Dream". Most operators combine this with a stay at The Last Resort or Borderlands, with bungee and canyon swing available the same trip. River flow peaks in spring (Mar-May) and autumn (Sep-Nov); monsoon brings dangerous high water.
