Raskoti had been missing since arch 10 after he went swimming in the Kali Gandaki River and drowned.
His body was located approximately 200 meters away from where he had gone missing. His friends had alerted the police after he failed to return, prompting a search operation.
Both bodies have been sent to the Palpa Hospital in Tansen for postmortem examinations.
