Karnali

Karnali, the longest river in Nepal, Originates in the holy Mt. Kailash in Tibet, and flows through deep
gorges, deserted beaches and steep canyons. One of the best river trips in Nepal, the Karnali run can last up to ten fun-filled days. The mild Class III to fabulous Class V rapids make the rideas unforgettable one, and combining fishing or jungle safari with the trip adds another dimension to the great adventure.
Rapids:Captivity, Flip and Strip, God's House, Elbow and Sweet Well.
The Karnali is also famous for Mahseer fishing. Far removed from urban influence, this is a remote region of Nepal with frequent sightings of diverse wildlife. The river is demanding with encounters of massive rapids that test the skill of rafters. For thrill seekers looking for an adrenaline high, it has a 7km roller-coaster ride through a fabulous gorge. The journey to the river starts with an hour-long flight to Nepalgunj and a drive to Surkhet. The put-in point at Tallo Dhungeshwor is reached after a six-hour drive through lovely sal forest.
Exciting rapids are encountered from Day One. The river takes rafters through the pristine Bardia National Park and the trip ends below the spectacular Chisopani Bridge which is the longest suspension bridge in Nepal.
