Day 01
From Pokhara, after breakfast drive to river put-in-point at Nayapul, about 3 hours drive. Throughout this drive we have stunning view of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri peaks as well as the sacred "Fish Tail" or Machhapuchhre. Upon arrival lunch will be served, and, expedition leader will give a full safety briefing. The first rapids we run are REFUND and THE EVIL ONE. Soon after the confluence with the Modi Khola River, we will choose our beach campsite.

Day 02
After breakfast, once the rafts are packed we start down the river for a full day of white water, during which you will see magnificent views of Annapurna-I and Himalchuli. Along this part of the river vines and lush vegetation hang from the cliff faces through which small waterfalls run. With our safety kayakers in position, you negotiate numerous exciting rapids before a welcome lunch break. Our campsite that evening will be in Sendi Beach.

Day 03
After breakfast, soon after getting on the water, we arrive at the holy village & Seti Beni. Here the river has deposited a house-sized boulder at the confluence with a smaller tributary. Since confluences are considered holy places in the Hindu religion, this boulder has become an important shrine to the local river people. A clean run through Seti Beni rapid puts us into "JUNGLE CORRIDOR". The river narrows through this remote gorge providing many thrilling drops and turns to challenge the rafting crews. In the afternoon "TOMBSTONE" rapid looms on the horizon. We will choose our campsite.

Day 04
After breakfast, through this middle section of the Kali Gandaki, the river loses its gradient the rapids are replaced by long coin pools and some small riffles. This provides a nice relaxing day where you can lounge in the raft and enjoy the scenery, and then an easy float down to our beach campsite follows a quick supply stop at Ridi Bazaar at approximately midday.

Day 05
Last day we run the largest rapid on the river "A WALK IN THE DARK". A large landslide fell into the river, creating this roller coaster rapid. Many other smaller drops are negotiated before arriving at the Ramdi Ghat road-bridge and our take-out point. After lunch equipment is loaded into the bus. We, then, begin a scenic drive back to Pokhara or Kathmandu.
