Karnali River,
Nepal's mightiest river, is arguably the finest multi-day river
trip in Nepal, and the classic Himalayan River expedition. The
Karnali's headwaters come off Mount Kailas in Tibet and slice
through the Himalayas in a series of magnificent gorges and
pristine forest.
On our 180 kilometers River journey we won't see a single sign
of the modern world but natural beauty and cultures. It's one of
the last places in Nepal that you can see old growth forest and
have a real chance of seeing Nepal's wildlife like Monkeys,
Langur, Rhesus, leopards, bear, martins, deer, crocodiles and
garials; even tigers. The river also supports some of the finest
fish habitat in Nepal, with giant catfish and Golden Masher
prowling the depths. Midway through the trip we select a choice
piece of beach and for two nights we stay at the same camp and
people have an opportunity to explore this beautiful country,
wallow in a mud bank, play in the region's plentiful waterfalls,
or just hang out and learn something about their fellow rafters.
Whitewater ranges from easygoing class three, to bone crushing
class five, depending on the time of year. Regardless of the
month, the Karnali always offers good, hard rapids with miles of
beautiful scenery and deep river gorges.
