"A fantastic trip of which every part was perfect. There was great food, great rafting and a great social community made all the staff go beyond the call of duty to make sure that everyone had a good time. I would not have felt safe doing such a hard river with any other company."

Cathy Palmer, Marshyangdi '08

Turbulent rapids intertwine with abrupt drops as we dodge our way down intricate chutes of sparkling water. Village terraces cling precariously to the slopes and surreal snow capped peaks hang suspended above us as we drift through the world's deepest gorge. Being one of the holiest rivers in Nepal, every junction of the Kali Gandaki is dotted with cremation sites and above ground burial mounds.

'Raging River' in the local dialect aptly describes one of the best whitewater runs in the world. Only recently opened for commercial rafting (many rapids have not yet been named), the Marshyangdi is one of the next generation of rivers in Nepal, steeper and with a much more continuous stretch of rapids. While driving to the raft put-in point, you will get to see great views of the Manaslu and the Annapurna. The scenery is breathtaking!

This is the longest river trip offered in Nepal, traversing 270 kms through the beautiful Mahabharat Range on its meandering way from the put-in at Dolalghat to the take-out at Chatara, far down on the Gangetic Plain. It is quite an experience to begin a river trip just 3-hours out of Kathmandu, barely 60 kms from the Tibet border, and end the trip looking down the hot, dusty gun barrel of the North Indian Plain just a week later.

Bhote Koshi is Nepal's steepest action packed rafting trip. If you have limited time, or just the desire for an adrenaline overload, this is the river for you. Our put- in point is at the Borderlands Eco Adventure Resort, conveniently located at the highest possible raft launch on the river and is the base for activities such as Canyoning, Trekking, Climbing and Mountain Biking around the Tibetan border. The resort has spacious safari tents, toilets and a massive dining hall with a well stocked bar. It has all the indulges of home in a very exotic setting. A perfect compliment to your trip can be an extended stay at our Borderlands Eco Adventure Resort.
