About About the place

The Karnali River, located in the far west of Nepal, offers a 10-day expedition combining 7-8 days of rafting with 2-3 days of travel. This remote river is less frequented than others in Nepal, providing a unique and immersive experience. The journey involves navigating grade 3/4 rapids, camping in secluded locations, and encountering local communities. The trip is best undertaken during the spring (March) when the weather is warming up, with pleasant days and cool nights. The drive to the river is challenging due to winding and uneven roads, but the breathtaking mountain views make it worthwhile. The experience emphasizes a connection with nature and a glimpse into traditional Nepalese life.
