Nepal's longest and biggest river, the Karnali springs forward from Mount Kailash, a sacred moutain in Tibet imperative to both Buddhist and Hindu. Streaming south into Nepal, it frames the significant water streaming system for the western locale before dropping off into dramatic canyons raging with enormous big volume whitewater and eventually flowing into remote areas of pristine wilderness rich with natural life. The first half of this river journey into the "wild west" offers unbelievable whitewater excitement, usually depicted as "a thrill a minute roller coaster ride". The second 50% of the journey settles down into some more moderate & gentle rapids and eventually a relaxed float rewarded by dramatic and hugely varied pristine and unspoiled wilderness. The Karnali River journey completes at the popular Bardia National Park – the most wilderness in Nepal rich in natural life. Many consider this fantastic river journey one of the finest rafting journey in the world.
