“The Mighty Kali”

Named after “Kali” the goddess of destruction, the Kaligandaki is said to be one of Nepal’s most holy rivers. Beginning its journey high on the Tibetan Plateau in Mustang, the “Mighty Kali” plunges down through the Himalayas, carving into one of the deepest gorges in the world between Dhaulagiri and Annapurna.

With exciting white water rapids, spectacular mountain views, traditional villages, endless suspension bridges, waterfalls, jungle corridor rich in wildlife, deep gorges, cultural temples and beautiful white sandy beaches for camp, we consider this to be the best all round river adventure in Nepal.

If you are looking for a good & exciting white water camping adventure with a variety of Nepal’s spectacular landscapes – then you cannot go wrong with the Mighty Kaligandaki!
