KARNALI RIVER RAFTING (11 Days)
Karnali River Rafting is Nepal longest river, the Karnali springs from
the base of Mt.Kalish in Tibet, the center of the universe for both
Buddhist and Hindu religions. Flowing south into Nepal it forms the
major drainage system of the western districts. The Karnali is one of
the finest BIG volume river trips in the world, a classic expedition
into Nepal's remote, "Wild West." The starting point is Sauli where
the river drops into imposing canyons filled with powerful big volume
white water. These canyons flow into the scarcely populated areas of
pristine jungle teeming with abundant bird and wildlife. Towards the
end of the trip, the river gradient begins to ease as the Karnali
leaves the mountains and flows into the Gangetic plains on the Terai.
The jungle thickens as the river broadens, and the pristine beaches
become bigger and even more beautiful.
