Comprehensive Trek Guide

Nepal, the country of many rivers and rivulets. Among them is Kali Gandaki River, the river of God. This river is named after the goddess Kali (Hindu god). It begins from the border of Tibet in the Mustang region of Nepal. While rafting on the Kali Gandaki river, we pass through narrow gorges, traditional villages, cultural temples, waterfalls, spectacular mountains views and white sandy beaches for camp.

In Kali Gandaki river water flows from the three world’s highest mountains over 8000m which are Mt. Dhaulagiri I, Mt. Manaslu, and Mt. Annapurna I. Whilst rafting we go through amazing views of the mountain at the short period of days.

Tipping Recommendation

We recommend allocating 10-15% of your total tour cost to tipping guides, drivers, and other hardworking staff who ensure your experience is unforgettable. While tipping is not mandatory, it is a meaningful way to support the seasonal workers who dedicate themselves to making your trip extraordinary.

By booking with us and participating in the tipping culture, you are directly contributing to Nepal’s local economy and helping sustain the tourism workforce. This support is crucial in retaining talent within the country and addressing challenges like brain drain.

Your generosity makes a lasting impact—thank you!
