Introduction:
The river rises wholly in Nepal and drains the eastern slopes of Manaslu and
the Ganesh Himal before flowing south through a steep-sided valley to join
the Trisuli river upstream of Mugling. This river provides a combine
pleasant treks and shorts river descent passing through typical Nepali
villages, good mountain views and a little traveled kayaking.

Lots of people know the Trisuli, Marsyangdi, and Kali Gandaki but menting the
Buri Gandaki had few people know anything about it, few have trekked the valley
and hardly anyone has rafted or kayaked it. Half way between Kathmandu and
Pokhara and yet its a mystery river! Like the Marsyangdi, the Bui Gandaki rises
wholly in Nepal and drains the Eastern slopes of Mansluand the Ganesh Himal
before flowing south through a steep - sided valley to join the Trisuli River
upstream of Mugling. Many people have seen this confluence from the main highway
to Kathmandu they have seen the blue waters of the Buri Gandaki joining the
usually more silty waters of the Trisuli and perhaps wondered what lies
upstream. In fact, upstream is a river very similar in volume and charactiristic
to the Marsyangdi but not as steep or as steep or as difficult in its lower
portion. A glance at the river profile will show that the Buri Gandaki has
fairly easy gradient from down stream of Arughat Bazar. Upstream of here the
gradient is still quite reasonable; it averages 2.3 % {120 ft a mile} from
Sirdibas {Setibas on some maps} down the Arughat. This section of the river
flows through a gorge -like valley, which gradually opens out above Arughat. The
Royal Trek, that used to be the main trail from Kathmandu to Gorkha, crosses the
river at Arughat but it not very papular. A few groups do trek up the valley of
the Buri Gandaki to Manaslu and Himalchuli but the valley is still relatively
unspoilt and a good introduction to Nepal villages and the friendly local
People.
