Named after the Hindu goddess of destruction, Kali, the
river rises in Mustang, on the northern side of the Himalayan range.
As it tumbles down between the majestic Dhaulagiri and the Annapurna
ranges, it creates one of the world's deepest river canyons.
The recent damming of the lower portion of this river,
has left us with one of Nepal's premier medium length river journeys;
combining great whitewater with some of the most beautiful scenery in
Nepal, seldom-visited villages, truly quiet and introspective
evenings, abundant wildlife, sandy beaches and outrageously beautiful
waterfalls.
The rapids on the Kali Gandaki are much more technical
and continuous keeping paddlers busy all day. 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. This ancient trading route
from Tibet takes you through the deepest river gorge in the world.
