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
