The Kali Gandaki River, named after "Kali," the goddess of destruction, is considered one of Nepal's most sacred rivers. The "Mighty Kali" originates high on the Tibetan Plateau and descends through the Himalayas, cutting up one of the world's deepest canyons between Dhaulagiri and the Annapurna Mountains. This gorge is more than 4 miles deep. Lower down at the put-in the river goes south and a great adventure begins.
With thrilling river rafting, amazing mountain views, traditional towns, endless suspension bridges, waterfalls, pristine jungle rich in wildlife, deep gorges, cultural temples, and gorgeous white sandy beaches for camping, we consider this to be Nepal's best all-around river trip.
