The best season to raft in the BhoteKoshi is September which follows the monsoon and extends through October, November, and sometimes too early December. During the spring thaw from March to May, the area of the river is again ready, the best water being in April and May. Mountain Rock Treks recommends combining the rafting program with a trek in the Annapurna Region. A flight can be arranged from Pokhara to Kathmandu if you are short of time. You can also add a jungle safari to Chitwan or Bardia National Park if you want to watch the one-horned Rhino or the Tiger.
