Then it flows in lows through wild and unspoiled with some of the pristine jungle scenery in Nepal and profuse wildlife. The Karnali is a gem, combining lowland trek for two days in the Nepal’s most isolated and least explored area.

Wonderful big volume of water in the river through tropical jungle, desolate beaches and small villages, the rapids are also petty boondocks, with the river building to its climax in these subordinate canyons. In a matter of hours, and as the river rises the impenetrability amplify exponentially.

Detail Itinerary

 

DAY 01: KATHMANDU – SURKHET BY BUS
We meet at the office in Kathmandu at 7am with your bags ready to go. This is a long bus journey, so be prepared with water etc. We travel to the far west and arrive in Surkhet very late/early hours of the morning. You are able to have a sleep here.

DAY 02: TREKKING TO SAULI.
After breakfast, we will take a truck as far as the road goes until about lunch time (this all depends on availability...be flexible). After lunch we walk all afternoon to the put-in point at Sauli. A great walk which highlights just how "out there" you really are. You pass local villages and spectacular scenery, then.......you hear the river!

DAY 03: RAFTING.
The river gives the team time to build and there is enough challenging rapids and water flow to allow for learning errors. We still manage to get at least one great class iv rapid in. We camp and get excited about tomorrow.

DAY 04: RAFTING.
This is the type of day that people imagine when they think of Himalayan water. It is BIG and it is continuous. We enter into the Jungle Corridor. This is a narrowing jungle clad gorge and it is all ours. The team building is put into full practice and when your guide shouts "all forward" he really means it! Enjoy the ride all day and camp in this sensational setting.

DAY 05: RAFTING.
More of the same including the notorious GOD HOUSE rapid. Don't forget to take in the bird life which is equally as abundant as the lush vegetation. Camp and relax.

DAY 06: RAFTING.
It isn’t over yet! Keep paddling hard ! You really are experiencing the best of the west on yet another day of great action and breath taking scenery.

DAY 07: RAFTING.
This is a holiday after all, so we have programmed a rest day so you can take time to enjoy your surroundings and relax on a great sandy beach.

DAY 08 – 09: RAFTING.
We see the rapids dying off as we come out of the gorge. We pass the confluence with the Seti river where the river broadens. Today and the next day and a half are a chance to enjoy your journey admiring the country and villages you pass. You will have seen the safety kayakers in action and will no doubt be inspired, so ask the guides for some supervised instruction, or take over the raft and learn about the river.You see there is more to a rafting expedition than just rafting.

DAY 10: RAFTING TO CHISOPANI AND DRIVE TO KATHMANDU OR BARDIA NATIONAL PARK.
We come to the end of our journey at about lunch time where our bus will be waiting to collect us. Those who have booked to go to Bardia National Park (highly recommended!), will be collected from here as well.

DAY 11: ARRIVAL AT KATHMANDU.
We arrive back at Kathmandu, in the early morning of the eleventh day. What a journey !!!
