Bhote Koshi Rafting (Dolalghat/ Lomasangu Dam)
Here's a great river trip for a short expedition with access to the river's put-in point just 3 hours outside Kathmandu. The Bhote Kosi is known as the River from Tibet and you can start a trip after a peak over the border into Tibet. The Kathmandu/Lhasa Highway (AKA Friendship Highway, Araniko Highway) runs along beside the river. You can run a day trip or do a two day expedition and run parts of the river twice. It's a great beginner river for rafters and fun for kayakers at all levels.
The local village of Bahrabise offers a chance to mingle with locals and tour a Nepali paper factory. You can also trek to an old fort that housed 5,000 soldiers in by-gone days of Tibet/Nepal border skirmishes.
Now, you'll find a unexpected surprise at river start as the Borderland Resort and Adventure Activity center has opened and offers rafting, cannoning, trekking, biking and fantastic food at the main put-in point of the Bhote Kosi. Be warned, most people that journey there for a one or two day trip wished they had book more days for adventure and R&R at the center.
