By 6 or 7 a.m., get ready after having an early breakfast. Our rafting staff and guides will pick you up at the time given earlier. So the drive leads, passing Kathmandu Valley, heading east on the old Kathmandu and Lhasa / Tibet Highway, also known as Nepal and Tibet / China Friendship Highway.

The drive takes you to Dhulikhel's scenic town, famous for its stunning sunrise over the Himalayan peaks of Ganesh-Langtang and Manaslu, to the Gaurishankar mountain range.

On arrival at the Rafting point by the side of the old main highway,  our river guides and raft captain will receive you. Then after a short walk to the beach, you can notice our rafting crew busy preparing or inflating the raft for the exciting rafting on Bhote Koshi River.

Before getting into a raft, the briefing will be held as waterproof for day rafting; wear shorts and a proof gearhead. The briefing from Captain regarding Rafting, safety procedure, and River currents and rapids are important.
