The KALI GANDAKI is Nepal’s most holy river. It is named after the goddess Kali, the goddess of destruction. Rising in the mystical region of Mustang it drops of the rooftop of the world and carves out its deepest gorge. Your adventure is set against the backdrop of the Annapurna range with Dhaulagiri and Annapurna East passing in and out of view. With 60 rapids over 60 kilometers the KALI GANDAKI is a thrill a minute! There are no warm up days on this river, you are straight into the action with bumpy, fast, medium level rapids challenging you at every turn. At high water the Kali Gandaki is a Grade 4 river built to remind you that you are alive.

We join the river high in the mountains either at Baglung or Beni. We call this trekking without getting blisters as we follow the popular trekking route before swinging south into wilderness. As you roar past villages perched high on river terraces you will hear the melodic calls of Namaste from children. In the evening explore isolated villages, shower under warm waterfalls or watch the kayaker’s play boating. For those with more time, why not combine trekking with rafting by flying to Jomson and trekking through the gorge to meet us.
