Karnali River Rafting

This river is the longest river of Nepal. Mount Kailash in Tibet is believed to be the main source of this magnificent river. Karnali lies in the far western part of Nepal. This area and river itself are quite new to outside world. So you will have plenty of opportunities to experience new things which very few people have done so far. Rafting on this river covers about 175 KM. Strating point of this trip is Syauli in Surkhet. From this point, this descending river becomes narrower, create more powerful current and bigger rapids and makes your trip more adventurous. The river relaxes little bit as it approaches plainer Terai.
