Kali Gandaki River Rafting

A medium length river, the Kali Gandaki offers speactacular views of mountains and flows by charming little villages with no motor roads in sight. With views of eight-thousand meter peaks and challenges of rousing rapids, this is indeed a unique experience  for rafters. With visits to temples and villages, this trip is a cultural one as well, and the technical nature of the rapids ensures a busy time paddling.

Rapids: Small brother, Big brother and refund

The adventure begins with a trip down to Pokhara (either a half-hour plane ride or a seven hour drive) where the first day is spent relaxing. The put in point which is 40 km away is reached after a 2 and half hour drive the next day. The rafters are greetedd by a series of rapids (Class III and Class IV) and can also enjoy some bird watching. Futher down, the rapids decrease in frequency and the valley widens slowing down the flow. Interestingly, waterfalls with stalactite formations are seen along the way. Normally, this is a three day rafting trip.
