This is one of the most popular medium length expedition river rafting in Nepal and gained its popularity due to challenging and much exiting rapids. Especially among young hearts those who are seeking for drifting on real Himalayan magic flow. Asia’s oldest one the Kali Gandaki River is the best choice which is originated from marginal Himalayan range of Tibet passes through all way down of Upper Mustang and cutting bottom of Annapurna I (8091m) and giant Mt Dhaulagiri (8167m) which also known as deepest gorge of planet. Only the river of Nepal that has several ammonite fossils containing with rocks which are remains as present proof that Himalayan was under the sea before 70 million years ago. But the Kali Gandaki River was there before Himalayan born and falling into Tethis Sea. After the sea disappeared, the Kali Gandaki continues flow towards southern direction and blocked by two giant peaks Annapurna & Dhaulagiri but the flow of the water never stopped which formed the present Kali Gandaki one.
