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 |
