Kali Gandaki River Rafting
The kali Ghandaki originates high on the Tibetan plateau in the Kingdom of Mustang. Plunging down through the Himalayas, the river carves the deepest gorge in the world between Dhaulagiri and Annapurna, both 8000m peaks. The river was first opened to commercial use in 1991 after exploration by an experienced rafting team. When not negotiating the multitude of big volume rapids, time on the river can be spent enjoying the backdrop of the Annapurna ranges and cascading waterfalls. The trip combines well with a visit to Pokhara and trekking in the Annapurna region.
