Lonely Planet Review

Tucked away in a bend of the Bhote Kosi River, 97km (60mi) from Kathmandu and a stone's throw from the Tibetan border, the superb Borderlands Resort is a lush and isolated riverside retreat. Accommodation is in tents but this certainly isn't roughing it. It's a wonderful break with lots of opportunities for adventure activities.

The camp consists of a comfortable central bar and dining area, and a number of luxury thatch-roofed safari tents dotted around a lush tropical garden. It's a great place to hang out in for a day or two but most people come here for the adventure activities - whitewater rafting, canyoning, abseiling down waterfalls and trekking. The food is excellent, there's an open fire in the evenings and total silence at night. Flush toilet blocks are clean and there are hot showers. Everything is taken care of for you, so just kick back and enjoy the ride. Accommodation includes meals and transport from Kathmandu. Packages that include activities offer the best value; for details and transportation pop into the resort's Kathmandu office, next to the Northfield Café in Thamel.
