Overview

The Karnali River Rafting Expedition – 10 Days by Karnali Rafting and Adventure Pvt. Ltd is one of Nepal’s most iconic white-water journeys. Flowing from the holy Mount Kailash in Tibet, the Karnali is Nepal’s longest and most remote river, offering a pure wilderness rafting experience through deep canyons, untouched valleys, and adrenaline-pumping rapids.

Starting from Tallo Dungeshwor, this 10-day journey combines heart-pounding rapids like Scorpion Beach, Cotton Pani, and God House with serene stretches of calm water where you can soak in the wilderness, sandy beaches, and breathtaking landscapes. Along the way, you’ll encounter confluences with Seti Karnali and Bheri Rivers, and end at Chisapani, the gateway to Bardiya National Park, home to tigers, elephants, and rhinos.

This is more than just rafting—it’s an expedition into Nepal’s wild frontier, suitable for thrill-seekers, nature lovers, and those who want to explore the hidden beauty of Western Nepal.
