“Bhote Koshi” roughly translates as “river from Tibet so there are quite a lot of rivers with this name in Nepal. This Bhote Koshi is the main branch of the Sun Koshi River. The river is followed by the Araniko highway so access and scouting are relatively easy. The upper valley above Barabishe is impressively narrow with steep hill sides shooting up over 2000m from the river. And there are some dramatic and scenic gorges down at river level. Technically, the upper Bhote Koshi ends just after Barabishe where the Sun Koshi joins as a stream from the left: The lower Bhote Koshi rafting start right from the Lamasangu.
