Kali Gandaki River Expedition

About Kali Gandaki River Expedition

DAYS 1-2 From Pokhara, we take a chartered bus out of town and up through the foothills of the Annapurna Mountain. The view from the bus is fantastic. The road winds and twists through the mountains as we work our way to the town of Baglung, the nearest point of civilization from where we begin our river journey. The private bus ride takes about 3-4 hours. Once at the river, the guides inflate the rafts, prepare lunch and give a safety talk. The guides then tie all the equipments into the rafts, which is quite a site to witness. More than a decade of running rivers has taught us a lot, not the least of which is how to tie a load so it stays put no matter what. After lunch, we push off into the current leaving the road behind for the next 3 days. DAY 3 The last day gives us the biggest rapids of the whole trip and thus, finishes with a bang. In addition to being the biggest, the rapids are also the cleanest and we can use the skills we`ve developed over the last two days to run tighter, more challenging lines. Who knows, we might even get to swim.
