Karnali River Expedition
Karnali River originated from Mount Kailash in Tibet and is fed from various river sources and glaciers of Nepal’s western Himalayan range.
Karnali River is one of the mightiest rivers in Nepal’s far western region. Karnali River offers exciting river sports and is also known as Big-Bend, as it flows through hills and gorges winding towards the low Terai belt of Nepal. Karnali rafting expedition begins with a flight to Nepalgunj or Dhangadi, a short drive, and a few days of trekking to reach the river’s starting point for rafting. The rafting on Karnali River, a great river adventure, encounters mind-blowing and hair-raising roller coasters with waves and rapids and ends on warmer south Terai. The return to Kathmandu requires the same process as access, a long drive, or a flight back to Kathmandu. At the end of the river adventure, one not-to-miss activity is extending three nights and enjoying a great wildlife safari in Bardiya National Park.
