Karnali Rafting

The Karnali River has the distinction of rising from the base of the holy Mt. Kailash in Tibet which is visited by hundreds of thousands of pilgrims each year. The Karnali is also the mightiest and longest river in Nepal. With its milder Class III to spectacular Class V rapids, this is one incredible ride. Rafting here can be combined with fishing and jungle safari which is the ultimate river experience for any adventurer.

The karnali trip takes one through wild territory where no civilization is encountered along the river for days on end. The remoteness of the river adds to the sobering experience in the wild. Langur and Rhesus monkeys are a common sight and other wildlife that may be seen are: leopards, bear, martins, deer, crocodiles and gharials. Besides rafting, the Karnali is also famous for its beautiful Golden Mahseer, a most sought after fish.

Karnali has huge rapids and demands to be taken seriously. As the river reaches the lower regions, it flows at a greater gradient allowing for an exciting ride as the rapids become more constricted. The river rewards thrill seekers with a series of rapids along a 7 km roller-coster ride through the gorge. What's more, the Karnali can be taken on in any season which is unusual for a country with monsoon floods.
