| I
couldn't believe that the rapids could be so continuous, challenging,
and totally runnable for so long. The mountains were incredible!
Definitely the best steep river I have ever rafted."

Turbulent
rapids intertwine with abrupt drops as we dodge our
way down intricate chutes of sparkling water. Village
terraces cling precariously to the slopes and surreal
snow capped peaks hang suspended above us as we drift
through the world's deepest gorge. Being one of the
holiest rivers in Nepal, every junction of the Kali
Gandaki is dotted with cremation sites and above ground
burial mounds

The
Karnali, Nepal's mightiest and pristine river, descends
through the Himalayas in a series of magnificent gorges.
In traditional Nepalese fashion, dozens of porters
carry our equipment for two days as we trek to one
of Nepal's most isolated and least explored areas.
Exceptional big volume rafting through tropical jungles
inhabited by the nomads traditionally known as
"Route", deserted beaches and small villages.

"Raging
River" in the local dialect aptly describes
one of the best whitewater runs in the world. Only
recently opened for commercial rafting (many rapids
have not been named yet), the Marshyangdi is one
of the next generations of rivers in Nepal, steeper
and with a much more continuous stretch of rapids.
The trek is stunning, with great views of the Manaslu
and the Annapurnas ahead of you the entire time.
The scenery is breathtaking.

This
is the longest river trip offered in Nepal, traversing
270 km through the beautiful Mahabharat Range on its
meandering way from the put in at Dolalghat to the
take out at Chatara, far down on the Gangetic Plain.
It is quite an experience to begin a river trip just
3-hours out of Kathmandu, barely 60-km from the Tibet
border, and end the trip looking down the hot, dusty
gun barrel of the North Indian Plain just a week later.

The
