Karnali River is the longest and largest river situated in the far west of Nepal. It flows through steep, jagged canyons where the rapids are tightly packed, offering continuous challenging water at all flows. On the river, a series of challenging class 4 to 5 rapids takes you through narrow canyons and dense forest full of diverse flora and fauna, finally leaving you close to Bardia National Park. A bus ride to far-western Nepal or a flight to Nepalgunj can take one to rafting site. It takes about 8 – 9 days to navigate the 90 kilometres of canyons and rafting trip.
