Kali Gandaki River Rafting

A thrilling blend of adventure and natural beauty, Kali Gandaki River rafting offers an exhilarating experience through one of Nepal’s most iconic river landscapes. Originating in Mustang, a remote enclave of Nepal bordering Tibet, the Kali Gandaki River flows through an open valley before plunging between the towering Dhaulagiri and Annapurna ranges, forming one of the world’s deepest gorges.

First navigated by explorer Michael Peissel in a hovercraft in 1973, the river has since become a favorite among rafters and kayakers. With its continuous rapids, breathtaking scenery, and cultural encounters, this three-day rafting adventure promises an unforgettable journey through Nepal’s rugged wilderness.
