About Kali Gandaki River
Rafting in the Kaligandaki River is one of the most popular and thrilling rafting trips in Nepal. Known for its challenging rapids, it remains a favorite among adventurers. The river is named after the revered goddess Kali and flows through the deepest gorge in Asia, bringing water from the 108 Kunda (religious spouts) of Muktinath in lower Mustang.
The Kaligandaki River is not only a natural wonder but also a sacred pilgrimage site in the Himalayas. Mustang, a prehistoric region, is home to fossils of ancient marine creatures, sometimes found in the riverbeds. Rafting in this river offers a unique blend of adventure and spirituality, as it’s named after the goddess Kali.
Along your journey, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the distinct culture of the people living near the river. Locals often gather at the riverbanks to witness your rafting adventure through Nepal’s remote mountain wilderness. The trip combines both an excursion to Pokhara and rafting in the Kaligandaki River, offering a complete experience.
