Kali Gandaki River Rafting

Kali Gandaki is a popular rafting river in Nepal, combining exhilarating white water rafting with beautiful scenery, magnificent mountain views of the Annapurna South, the Machhapuchre or Fishtail Peaks. The river, which is named after the goddess of destruction Kali, is considered the holiest river of Nepal. The Kali Gandaki begins in Mustang and an enclave of Nepal poking into Tibet on the other side of the Himalayas. It is a flat and braided river, flowing in an arid open valley. It flows between the high Himalayas, Dhaulagiri and Annapurna creating the world's deepest gorge and then into an arid open valley.

Nepal is also rich in diverse rapid rivers: Grade 5-5+ rivers with raging white water rapids for the adventurous, to Grade 2-3 rivers with a few rapids for novices. Rafters also have a choice ranging from two to three-week trips to trips of two or three days. The options include paddling, oaring and kayaking. Paddling requires all on boat to participate with instructions from river runner. Luxury safari-style trips with full team are available too. In an oar boat, the guide rows alone giving participants a chance to observe the surroundings. Kayaking is another way to travel downstream.

Rafting the Kali Gandaki River, riding through technical rapids, challenging the medium and lower flows is hell lot of fun. Being Kali's river, it is considered particularly holy and the confluence of every tributary is marked with cremation sites.

Both qualified and first time rafters will enjoy the thrilling rapids of the Kali Gandaki. After an exciting white water trip, you have the alternatives of either to drive or fly back to Kathmandu or visit the Royal Chitwan National Park and enjoy the Chitwan Safari or you can go for the trekking trip in the popular area of Annapurna region for few days which offers the tranquil beauty of the Nepal’s mountain peaks as well as eye catching flora and fauna.
