The Bhote Koshi or Rongshar Tsangpo is a trans-boundary river and is part of the Kosi or Sapta Koshi river system in Nepal. It originates in Tibet Autonomous Region of China.The source of the Rongshar Tsangpo or Bhote Koshi lies in the mountains to the east of the Kathmandu-Lhasa Highway in Tibet. After flowing through Tingri County of Tibet, the Rongshar Tsangpo enters Nepal downstream from Drubden, at an elevation of 2,750 metres (9,020 ft). In Nepal, it flows through steep and deep gorges and joins the Sun Kosi, downstream from Barabise.

Day 0 1: We take a trip to 95 km. east from Kathmandu is the starting point Lomosangu- Dam of the trip. This is a spectacular drive through villages and if weather permits, you will have fantastic mountain views i.e. Ganesh Himal, Langtang etc.  Before we begin we will take lunch and set up the rafts. Your guides will then issue you with the standard rafting equipment: a paddle, a splash jacket, a helmet and a life jacket. We then head to the river for our safety briefing. Then we raft the first 10 km of the MOST exciting stretch of the river and then return to the start to play again the same stretch the next day rather than continue with only half a day paddling to the end. Drives back to our camp.

Day 2: After breakfast a quick pack up and set out (approx. 9 to 10 a.m.) run white water hit again a class 3 rapid starting from upper section. You have the second chance to show how your raft team can work well together in challenging rapids.
