- 145piyushsIndia149 contributionsA river is Life when it flowsOur cottage at Mahindra Corbett was right on the banks of the river Kosi. This year's severe monsoon has made the river Kosi gushing with water in its full glory. The Kosi or Koshi is a transboundary river which flows through China, Nepal and India. It drains the northern slopes of the Himalayas in Tibet and the southern slopes in Nepal. From a major confluence of tributaries north of the Chatra Gorge onwards, the Kosi River is also known as Saptakoshi. In Hindu mythology, there are several stories about this rive. One of the most popular stories is that Kosi was the daughter of Lord Shiv and was extremely beautiful. A demon fell in love with her and proposed to marry Kosi. Unable to say no, because that would infuriate the demon, Kosi told the demon if he could contain her within the Himalayas for one night, she would marry him. The Demon started working furiously and by midnight, sensing that the Demon would complete his work by dawn, River Kosi went to her father Shiv and requested him to help. Lord Shiv disguised him as a cock and in the middle of the night started crowing where Demon was working. Hearing this the Demon became nervous and ran away to save his life. Well, that was just the story but we enjoyed sitting on the glorious full-of-life river Kosi. The sun rises behind the mountains full of greenery, the sunshine falling on the lowing river and making it shine like Gold was an extremely amazing experience.Visited August 2023Travelled with familyWritten 23 August 2023

- guptaetiNew Delhi, India283 contributionsFreshness in air and waterIt is a must do if you're visiting the Jim Corbett National Park. The only drawback is the approachability and the facilities that may be provided by the Government. The water bed is very rocky but the water is extremely clean and makes you feel like staying there foreverVisited March 2021Travelled with familyWritten 22 April 2021

It’s a vast river belt good for river rafting. It’s famous for white water rafting. Most thrilling. Just to watch the flowing river and listen it’s mesmerising sound. Lovely environment for music and nature lovers.

Nice walk to the river. Clean river with adjoining forest, a good place to relax and have a small tea party or picnic. Picturesque and easy to reach. Car parking nearby

We went last week when there was hardly any flow in the river. But I think it will be a great place to visit in the monsoon when there will be enough water in the river and forest around will be fresh and greener.

I stayed at Tiger Groove. amazing property. specially it's way to reach. it's inside the jungle. you would curse me for last 5 kms before the resort but once you reach, you will love it. although it's not on the banks of any river. 7-8 kms from Ramnagar city.

I am visiting this place for a week in December 2016 and all bookings are just completed, Very much eager and delighted that I am is visiting such beautiful place. Swimming will be added attraction if we could exploit? What are the possibility? Some body has commented that water will be less. How far it is true?

Is there boating or any other activity available at Kosi ? What about eateries? If I opt for elephant safari at the National Park does the river compulsorily come on the way?

There is no special activities in Kosi river, Elephant safari can be done but outside the forest area.
