Rafting In Kali Ghandaki
River |
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. |
