Karnali
is also known as the longest and biggest river of Nepal,
emerges at Mt. Kailash, an holy mountain, and flows through
the scenic flora and fauna. It features an easy one-day
trekking from the nearest road access to the put in point.
Along the journey, to encounter with the challenge of 3-5
class rapids is one pleasure and equally to experience the
remote life through the dense of forest is another vitality
of this trip. Just just enough easier water to regroup and
prepare for the next big challenge separates rapids like
“Captivity”, Flip and Stripe, Gods House. Towards
the end of the trip the river gradient begins to ease as
the Karnali leaves the mountains and flows out in to the
Genetic plains of the Terai. The dense of forest thickens
as the river broadens, and the pristine beaches become bigger
and more beautiful.

when your guide shouts "all forward" he really
means it! Enjoy the ride all day and camp in this sensational
