The Mighty Bhote Kosi

A couple friends and I had a superb weekend away in Kodari in Northern Nepal. We were about 15 km from the Tibetan border in this gorgeous (or is it 'gorges') area. Running through the bottom of the gorge is the Mighty Bhote Kosi or the Rongshar Tsangpo River, which originates in Tibet.
The roaring river.

A friendly local who offered me the equivalent of a grapefruit (it was delicious).

Scattered all through the valley were seemingly endless intricately made stone stairs.

The tall mountains on the border with Tibet could just be seen to the North.

Prayer flags blowing in the afternoon breeze on the bridge spanning the river.
