Kaligandaki Rafting

Trip Info

Destination

Nepal

Activity

Climbing and Expedition

Kali Gandaki River newest and wildest river situated 3 hours drive from Pokhara in one of the world deepest and most impressive canyons. From the first day at Kusma the rapids run thick and fast with little respite.

Gorgeous scenery on this remote river makes Kali Gandaki Rafting and kayaking trip a preferred among those looking for a short to medium length trip. We are rewarded with unique views of the Annapurna range; beautiful deserted beach camps, charming villages & a visit to an eerie, derelict palace.

The Kali Gandaki is one of the holiest river in Nepal but now is under threat for a Hydroelectric Dam which will destroy one of the best white water runs in Nepal. There are some options for the guests after implementation this rafting.

The Kali Gandaki rafting passes through narrow gorges, alongside tumbling waterfalls & jungle, traditional Magar & Chetri villages, whose inhabitants often venture down to the riverside to meet the rafters with traditional ‘Namaste’.

4 days itinerary Kathmandu to Kathmandu can be shortened to 4 days Kathmandu to Pokhara to fit in with any trekking plans you may be planning around the Annapurna Range.

So, it is certainly worth to raft once on this river if you are truly looking for Nepal’s most varied land escape with real wasteland knowledge. After rafting fly or drive back to Kathmandu or drive to the Chitwan National Park or trek to Annapurna Region.

Your Dream Itinerary, Crafted With You

I was born and raised in Nepal, nearby the Everest region. I am proud to be a native Sherpa, and I have been a Mountain guide over a decade now.

Following my passion, I decided to start helping travelers with their travel plans! I think life is a journey, a trip where you collect experiences when you share with other people and with nature.

I started Himalaya Discovery because I was ready to see a new kind of travel brand, one built on the simple idea of feeling good and doing good.

Since its start, Himalaya Discovery has been super-powered by you, our community; when you “travel” it, we create it. We’re on a mission to make travel better with clean, award-winning adventures that are sustainable and conscious of the planet we share.

Thank you for being a part of our journey.
