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. Watch for
the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna Mountain Ranges (the
popular trekking route) and has your camera ready!
