The Kali Gandaki after goddess Kali, rises in mustang, close to Tibet border. Big and difficult river, with beautiful un spoilt scenery, small gorges, jungles and an abundance of wildlife. Recommended as an accessible and relaxing river trip. A good river for small inflatable boats or for rafter and kayakers with limited experience. A classic, best-of-its-kind, trip that deserves to be more popular.
The beautiful scenery on this remote river makes Kali Gandaki rafting/kayakingi trip a favorite among those looking for a short to medium length trip. The Kali Gandaki passes through narrow gorges, alongside tumbling waterfalls and jungle, traditional Magar and Chetri villages, whose inhabitants often venture down to the riverside to meet the rafters with traditional ‘Namaste!’. There are superb opportunities to see the Annapurna Mountain range and a variety of wildlife and temples on River banks.
