Karnali
Rafting & Bardia -16 Days |
 |
| Nepal's longest and
largest river, the Karnali, springs forth from the base of Mt.
Kailash in Tibet, the center of the universe for both the Buddhist
and Hindu religions. As it carves its path south through the
Himalaya it forms the major drainage system of the western districts.
Shortly after the starting point at the village of Sauli, the
river drops into imposing scarcely populated canyons filled
with powerful white water rapids and remote pristine beaches.
One of the finest BIG volume river trips in the world, the Karnali
provides a classic expedition into Nepal's remote, unpopulated,
"Wild West". |
