Kali Gandaki River Rafting
A deservedly popular and medium length of river trip is combining
exhilarating white water with fine scenery. One of the famous names of
Himalayan Rivers, The Kali Gandaki raises in Mustang an enclave of Nepal
Poking into Tibet on the other side of the Himalayas here; it is a flat and
braided river, flowing in an arid open valley. As it tumbles down between
the majestic Dhaulagiri and the Annapurna ranges, it creates one of the
world's deepest gorges. The explorer Michael Peissel ran this stretch of the
river in a small hovercraft in 1973 and at least two other groups have
rafted and kayaked in this section.
All day you have to continuous keeping paddlers busy against all technical
rapids on the Kali Gandaki River. Both experienced and novice rafters love
this. Nowhere else is it possible to find such diversity on a 3 day raft
trip. Nice drops, sparkling chutes and turbulent rapids provide class III to
IV+ runs during the fall and spring seasons.
After your exhilarating white water trip you have options either to drive or
fly back to Kathmandu or to visit the Royal Chitwan National Park or again
you can go for the trekking trip in the popular area of Annapurna region for
few days
