Bhote koshi Rafting
Bhote Koshi Rafting is an excellent 2 days trip in an isolated area and we organize this short whitewater rafting, where beautiful jungle, plenty of easy rapids and fantastic Himalayan scenery. Bhote roughly translates as river from Tibet so there are quite a lot of rivers with this name in Nepal.
Looking for the ultimate white water thrill? Bhote Koshi River rafting is one of the most adrenaline-pumping outdoor adventures in Nepal. Just a 3-hour drive from Kathmandu, this river is perfect for a quick escape into nature, packed with excitement, stunning scenery, and unforgettable rapids.
Originating from the Tibetan plateau, the Bhote Koshi River plunges down into Nepal through steep, narrow gorges, creating a powerful flow ideal for white water rafting and kayaking. It’s considered one of the steepest rivers in Nepal used for rafting, with continuous Class III to Class V rapids that challenge even experienced rafters.
Often described as a liquid roller coaster, Bhote Koshi delivers non-stop action. From the moment you launch, it’s a high-energy ride with waves, drops, and fast turns. This river offers one of the best two-day rafting trips in the world, combining intense adventure with natural Himalayan beauty.
Along the way, you’ll pass through steep canyons, traditional villages, and breathtaking mountain landscapes. The crystal-clear water and lush surroundings make the experience not just thrilling but also visually spectacular.
Bhote Koshi rafting is ideal for thrill-seekers and outdoor lovers. It’s also one of the best options for adventure rafting near Kathmandu, making it accessible even for short itineraries. The river is best tackled during the post-monsoon season (September to November) and pre-monsoon (April to June) when the water levels are ideal.
Whether you’re an experienced paddler or a first-time rafter ready to take on a challenge, rafting in Bhote Koshi promises an unmatched adventure. For many, it’s the highlight of their trip to Nepal.

Reviews
Simply put “WOW”.
Simply put “WOW”. I have never met more responsible people in my life. They made sure every step of the way was taken care of from the drivers, tour guides, trek guides, porters and hotel accommodations. I highly recommend this company for its hard working, responsible and friendly people. The people make a company. Special thanks to: Anuja “the planner”, Chitiz & Ashmir “the ultimate trekking guides” and finally Robin “the enthusiastic jungle bird watcher”.

San Diego, CaliforniaPlan Holidays did a fantastic job on our whole trip!
Plan Holidays did a fantastic job on our whole trip! We did the trip that included time in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan National Park and a 5-day trek around Annapurna. From the moment we stepped off the plane, we had guides showing us around and everything was perfectly planned for us. Maila, our trekking guide was amazing and had so much knowledge! It was a great trip!

Boston, MassachusettsIncredibly well organized
This company was amazing. Incredibly well organized. I felt safe and spoiled. Our airport transports were always early and waiting for us. All of our reservations for our accommodations and busses were perfect. The temple tour we took was super fun and educational. Some of our luggage got stuck in our layover country and between this travel agency and our hotel they were able to get it for us and deliver it the next day. We also had a 10month old traveling with us and they made sure that our accommodation and travel plans were safe for him. During our 5 days of trekking, we had THE BEST guide/sherpa. I would positively let them plan another trip for us. Thank you!!!!

I had a wonderful experience
I recently booked a tour with Plan Holidays, and I had a wonderful experience. Anuja scheduled the tour, and it was comforting to have our trip covered without any concerns. Our guide Shiva took us through Kathmandu, and showed all us the highlights of the city and provided us with the cultural and historical background. We also did the Poon Hill Trek with guides Chitiz and Ashmir, who provided a peaceful hike through the Himalayas. On our last two days, we spent time in Chitwan National Park, where our guide, Robin, took us on adventures where we saw crocodiles and rhinos.
The entire package was affordable, and our guides met our every need; they went out of their way for us on many occasions. It was comforting to get off the bus and see our guides waiting for us with our name tags. I would highly encourage anyone to book a trip through this company. I promise that you will have an amazing experience–five stars!
