Transportation and Timetable
Baseri, the main put in point for the
Bhote Kosi River is 4 hours North-East

the trip, providing you with an opportunity
to ask any further questions you may
have, to meet your fellow rafters and
also your guide.
Description
There is not much time to look at the
mountain scenery once on this river!
However, en route there is an excellent
opportunity to stop in Dulikhel to admire
the stunning views.
The Bhote

short white water rafting trips in the
world. It is the steepest river that

trip. It is better suited to those who
have had some previous rafting experience.
