Kali Gandaki River Rafting in Nepal.

One of the famous names of Himalayan Rivers, the Kali Gandaki raises in Mustang, Tibetan plateau on the other side of the Himalaya. Here it is a flat and braided river flowing in an arid open valley and cuts one of the deepest gorges in the world between Mt. Dhaulagiri  8167m to the west and Annapurna I 8091m to the east.  After the confluence with the Modi Khola the river swings south through an area where until recently tourists where almost unknown. There are few villages actually on the river – most are located on the river terraces some hundreds of meters above. The Kali Gandaki is named after the goddess Kali and is considered a particularly holy river.

The journey descends through challenging white water, unique cultures and amazing beaches. When not negotiating rapids, time on the river can be spent under cascading waterfalls and enjoying the backdrop of the Annapurna ranges. Both experienced and novice rafters will love this trip.
