Welcome:
Kali Gandaki Rafting Page |
 |
| |
|
The Kali begins its journey high on
the Tibetan plateau in the kingdom of Mustang. Plunging its way down through
the Himalayas, the river carves the deepest gorge in the world between the
two 8000m peaks Dhaulagiri and Annapurna. The Kali Gandaki was first opened
to commercial use in 1991. The journey descends through challenging white
water, unique cultures and amazing beaches.
|
 |
When not negotiating rapids, time
on the river can be spent under cascading waterfalls and enjoying the backdrop
of the Annapurna ranges. Both experienced and novice rafters will love it. Being
one of the holiest rivers in Nepal, every river junction on the Kali Gandaki is
dotted with cremation sites and above ground burial mounds. As the
trip begins and ends in Pokhara you need to get there one day before the trip.
There are few options depending on your budget and time schedule. All of them
are relatively easy to arrange and if you want your tour operator can assist
you.
|
Day 01 |
Pick up from
airport, drop in hotel (A) |
|
Day 02 |
At around 7/8 am, we drive for around 3-4 hrs to
the put-in point near Beni. Throughout this drive we have stunning views of
the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri peaks as well as the sacred Machapuchare. Upon
arrival, we unload all the equipment and you will receive a full safety
briefing. Have lunch and then the guide will take you to the river starting
point ready to begin your exciting 3 days raft trip. First day we begin with
some class III rapids this is a warm up for the team, after 10/15 minutes
you will be encountering 2 big class 4 rapids i.e. ‘Small Brother’ and ‘Big
Brother’. Your guide will be making you work hard at doing exercises to work
as a team maneuvering the raft efficiently. After scouting the rapid, the
safety kayaks will go first then the raft. Soon after encountering these two
big rapids we will reach the Modi Khola confluence where we will choose the
beach for the evening campsite. We unload the rafts and one raft team
prepares dinner and rum punch whilst the others play or relax and take in
the scenery. (L, D, A) |
|
Day 03 |
Once the
rafts are packed we start down the river for a day mixed with adrenaline
calm and spectacular scenery including views of Annapurna 1 and Himachuli.
We will tackle many class III sections and the challenging class IV named
REFUND. This section of river is abundant with vines, wildlife and lush
vegetation hanging from the cliff faces. Our campsite is below the village
of Purti Ghat. (A, B, L, D) |
|
Day 04 |
Soon after being back on the water we reach the
holy village of Seti Beni. The river has deposited a house size boulder in
the confluence with a smaller tributary. Since confluence is considered holy
places in the Hindu religion, this boulder has become an important shrine to
the local river people. There is usually a great audience to watch and
listen to the spectacle as each team negotiates the rapid that has formed
around this holy place. Not long after this it is time for the journey to
end. Our bus will be waiting for us. We load up the gear and prepare for the
bus journey back to Pokhara.
(A, B, L, D) |

Day 05 |
Arrive in Kathmandu by bus. Rest in hotel, if
you are interested for souvenir shopping in Kathmandu (B) |

KAYAKING:
This is a great river for
intermediate to advanced Kayakers. Most rapids are pool-drop and there are
surfing waves almost all the way down the river. Many rafting operators in
Nepal has the best kayakers and instructors l, they are always willing to
share their enthusiasm and expertise. We encourage kayakers to join any of
our trips. You needn’t worry as our safety kayaker is always with the
expedition.
