Karnali River Rafting - 09 days

Karnali is Nepal’s longest river that originates from Mount Kailash, a sacred mountain in Tibet, significant for both Hindus and Buddhist. Flowing south to Nepal, the river makes drainage system in western district, dropping off into the dramatic canyons and raging with big volume of water and finally flowing through the pristine and peaceful jungle.

The river is graded- 4+ to 5+ class with huge series of impressive gorges and continuous wild rapids. The bank of the river are lined with coniferous forest. The first half of Kali Gandaki River Rafting offers huge rapids and great whitewater excitement.  While the second half of the journey settles down into moderate and gentle rapid, eventually to calm float through the wide-spread forest. 

Karnali River Rafting concludes at famous Bardia National Park- renowned for diversity of floral and faunal species. This river is one of finest whitewater journey in Nepal and one of Favorite River for our crew.

Karnali River Rafting is ideal for those seeking truly authentic and intensely remote river adventure combined with calm and relaxed float into the pristine nature.
