The Bhote Kosi / Upper Sun Kosi (during
high water) is without a doubt the most action packed
white water run in Nepal. The river drops off steeply
providing continuous stretches of powerful class III-IV
white water. Boulder gardens, small waterfalls, steep
chutes and 90-degree bends present a multitude of
hazards to be negotiated. The Bhote Kosi it is a technical
river requiring an active crew. This run is not for
the faint hearted At the end of an action packed day,
you can relax and watch the sun set from the thatched
bar of the Sukute Beach Resort or, the porch of your
spacious, safari style tent. This is the place to
mellow out! We guarantee that no one will try to sell
you anything! Stay as long as you want, sunbathe on
our sandy beach, read a book in peace, sit and chat
around a fire, play backgammon in the bar, or enjoy
the stars and sounds of the river.

and then we come to the crux of the day, which is
a long, technical rapid, "Frog in a Blender".
A long series of class 3+/4 rapids lead us into one
of the guide's favorites, "Carnal Knowledge of
a Deviant Nature". The remaining ten kilometers
of river is a non-stop series of technical class 3

canyon with lush green vegetation and waterfalls coming
in from the steep stone walls. At the bottom of this
