The Kali Gandaki, west Nepal's Himalayan river is a terrific
medium length river journey, combining great whitewater with
some of the prettiest scenery in Nepal. Both experienced and
novice rafters will love it. The village terraces cling precariously
to the slopes and surreal snowcapped peaks hang suspended above
us as we drift through the world's deepest gorge. Being one
of the holiest rivers in Nepal every river junction of the Kali
Gandaki is dotted with cremation sites and above ground burial
mounds.
