 Western
Nepal is less developed and forbidden countryside. The
modern amenities like roads, motors, electricity or
telephone is yet a dream of the locals here. The river
Karnali arises from China, Western Tibet and stretches
this most forbidden countryside of Nepal. Karnali is
the longest river of Nepal that offers 6-7 full days
in the river for paddling. The river trip here offers
you every day a challenge and different feeling. Karnali
offers equally challenge even in lower water season.
The trip begins after a long drive of 1 and half day
from country capital Kathmandu. Most of the river side
is covered by the sub-tropical and tropical jungles.
Settlement and houses are far from the river except
in lower parts of the river.
Being isolated from polluted human activities you are
close to observing the nature, wildlife and real water
adventure. The lower section of the river has less rapids
as it is mostly flat but the landscape and more of villages
and people offer you to learn some of Nepalese culture
and lifestyle.
The river trip ends at one of the best Wildlife reserve
at Bardiya National Park. You can extend 3-4 days of
wildlife tour here for extraordinary flavour in your
adventure. |
