trip Overview

If rafting does mean an adventure-filled run through a secluded river posing; and the challenge of grade III and IV rapids with gorgeous scenes, age-old shrines and occasional settlements; then there is no other better alternative than the Kaligandaki Rafting Trip. It is one of the most sacred rivers of the Hindus. The Kaligandaki River provides a good exercise of your energy and skill as you pass over its technical rapids. The thick foliage in the surrounding cliffs, temples and shrines in every confluence, villages, and villagers to meet on the way will serve a heady combination of diverse experiences. For the rafters and kayakers, the biodiversity range during the three-day trip starts at Baglung and ends at Mirme. Which comes as another astonishing delight.

The Kaligandaki rafting trip can also be extended from three to five and even to 9 days. We start this trip from Nayapul (70 km from Pokhara) and take out at the dam-site near the river’s confluence with the Andhi Khola. This is the usual and most followed three-day trip. At high flows, it is also possible to portage the dam-site and continue the journey to Ranighat of Palpa. Where you can also discover the Tej Mahal—Nepal’s Taj Mahal– along with a great, secluded beach of the river. In this case, the journey consumes five days. Now, you may want to emerge to the Terai plains along with the river.

If so, you can go on for other three to four days to Devghat for an entire 130 kilometers, where the Kaligandaki meets the Trishuli River. This epic river journey provides you a kaleidoscopic view of the biological, natural, cultural and geographical diversity of Nepal—the experience is of epic scale.

Itinerary

As you land in Kathmandu, our office staff will pick you up from the airport and take you to your hotel.


You will reach Pokhara from Kathmandu in about 7 hours. After you reach this beautiful city, you can hang around the beautiful Fewa Lake, do some boating on it or go for some short hikes if there is enough time. The attractions here are numerous, as this is the most popular destination for national and international tourists.


We drive from Pokhara to Nayapul and stay overnight at the camp on the bank of Modi Khola. 


After a short drive, we reach the put-in point, where we start the rafting trip. We mostly encounter grade III rapids except for two grade IVs, named “Small Brother” and “Big Brother”. The campsite at the confluence is really a great place to spend the night.


Mostly grade III and at least one grade IV rapid wait for you along the route. There are gorgeous scenes along the way, including that of Annapurna I and Hiunchuli. The lush vegetation on the side of the river makes the trip a wild run in green seclusion.


Another exciting day takes us down the sacred confluences and shrines to Mirme where the dam is constructed. We end our three-day rafting trip here.


After completing this great whitewater journey, we return to Kathmandu on the seventh day and you return to your home the next day.
