Karnali river rafting 10 days

The Karnali River is lies in the far west of Nepal and it is the largest and the longest river. Two days trek is needed from Surkhet to reach staring point of the rafting. This river will be the world's most famous rapids passing through wilderness uninterrupted by humans. You previous rafting experience and physical fitness will help you as a extra bonus to make it easier.

The lowland trek combined with some of the most beautiful canyons found in Nepal makes Karnali rafting/kayaking one of the most memorable river trips available in this country and it is often a favorite river trip of guides and rafters alike. There is a wide variety of fauna and flora including dense forests, jungle and also remote villages.

After monsoon rains the rapids of Karnali river are demanding and huge, though relatively straightforward. As the river flows through some quite narrow canyons the flow of the water increases, as does the frequency of the rapids. In low water the demands on the rafter are more technical, though equally exciting.

Karnali rafting is an ideal trip for those wanting a more unique experience of Nepal, stunning scenery, great river action and all the benefits of a long river trip in Nepal. It has the added advantage of the take out point being ideally situated for those wishing to visit Bardia National Park. Karnali river is one of the best river in Nepal for fishing!
