trip information

Named after the Hindu goddess Kali, the Kaligandaki River begins near the Tibetan Plateau in Nepal’s Upper Mustang region. It cuts through the towering Dhaulagiri and Annapurna ranges, forming one of the world’s deepest gorges. Known for its exhilarating rapids and scenic beauty, the river is ideal for medium-length rafting trips, offering a mix of adventure, mountain views, and glimpses into rural village life.

The Kaligandaki is also one of Nepal’s most sacred rivers, with its route marked by shrines, cremation grounds, and spiritual sites. Rafters can expect a variety of challenging rapids, peaceful nights camping on white sandy banks, and an immersive experience in Nepal’s natural and cultural richness.
