Kali Gandaki River Rafting

3 Days

Kali Gandaki Rafting takes you to one of the most significant rivers in Nepal that is as challenging as it is rewarding. It is one of the best rafting expeditions in Nepal due to its exciting white rapids and spectacular views. Additionally, you can also explore cultural temples, pristine wildlife, waterfalls, and traditional villages, while on this trip.

Kali Gandaki river originates in the Tibetan Plateau and flows south to reach the Ganges. Moreover, the river also carves out one of the deepest canyons in the world, the Kali Gandaki Gorge, between the Himalayan mountains of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. The name “Kali” comes from the Hindu goddess of destruction. The name probably explains the high number of deep gorges formed by the river. 

The rafting trip is moderately long at three days which is the sweet spot for adequate water thrills and adventure. If you are looking for a thrilling and extended rafting experience, Kali Gandaki rafting is the perfect adventure for you.
