The Karnali River Rafting Expedition is a 10-day wilderness white water rafting journey on Nepal's longest and most remote river. Originating from the glaciers of Mount Kailash in Tibet, the Karnali flows through remote western Nepal with dramatic gorges, big volume rapids, and pristine beaches. The expedition covers 180km from Surkhet to Chisapani<\/a>, with rapids rated Class IV-V including 'Sweetness and Light,' 'Shake and Bake,' and 'God's House.' The river is for experienced rafters only - the volume is significant, the rapids are committing, and the region is remote with limited evacuation options. The expedition includes full-service beach camping, wildlife spotting (including the rare Gangetic dolphin), and cultural visits to remote Tharu villages.<\/p>\n","cost_includes":"Professional guide and safety crew\nAll necessary safety equipment (helmet, harness, life jacket, etc.)\nActivity-specific gear (raft, parachute, bike, etc.)\nGround transport to and from activity site\nLight lunch and refreshments\nActivity permits and entry fees\nAll government and local taxes\n2-person tent and sleeping pad\nAll meals (BLD) throughout expedition\nRiver permit and conservation fees\nDomestic flight Kathmandu to Nepalgunj\nPrivate transport to start and from end\nSupport kayak and safety equipment\nSatellite phone for emergency communications","cost_excludes":"Personal clothing and shoes\nTravel insurance\nPhotography or video services (available as add-on)\nTips for guide and crew\nCosts from weather-related cancellations","itineraries":[{"title":"Fly to Nepalgunj & Drive to Surkhet","content":"\n
