Overview

Our newest trip, unique to Rapidrunner Expeditions is a brilliant opportunity to learn to kayak with our in-depth 7 day kayak school on the Lower Kali Gandaki River. Gentle rapids and stunning scenery provide the perfect setting for learning to paddle, roll and read the river like a pro! You may have a little experience, or none at all but as with any active sport, a reasonable level of general fitness will enable more rapid and enjoyable progress.

Named after the goddess of destruction, Kali, the Kaligandaki is revered as one of Nepal's most sacred rivers. Originating from the Tibetan Plateau, the "Mighty Kali" descends through the Himalayas, carving one of the deepest gorges globally between the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna Mountains.

This extraordinary river adventure boasts exciting white-water rapids, breathtaking mountain vistas, traditional villages, numerous suspension bridges, cascading waterfalls, pristine jungles teeming with wildlife, profound gorges, cultural temples, and idyllic white sandy beaches for camping. With this unique combination, the Kaligandaki stands out as the best all-round river experience in Nepal.

Experience the thrill of super fun, big, and bouncy rapids featuring exciting wave trains, making every moment on the water an exhilarating journey. The beautiful remote beach camping adds a touch of tranquility and connection with nature to this adventure, creating a perfect blend of excitement and serenity. Explore the mountains, immerse yourself in village life, visit temples, traverse the jungle, and witness the wonders of the deep gorges – the Kaligandaki offers a comprehensive and unforgettable river expedition in the heart of Nepal.
