Rising in the vicinity of Tibet 's holy Mount Kailash , the Karnali carves the Himalayan landscape into a series of magnificent gorges and canyons as it descends slowly into the forests of western Nepal . Seasonal snow melts and storms can cause the river levels to swell drastically and create the extremes of white water rafting.

In high water the Karnali is a serious undertaking with fairly straightforward, yet huge rapids. Even at lower levels it is still not a walk in the park, as the rapids become more constricted and the gradient steeper. One highlight of this classic river journey is a 7-km long gorge "Thrill-a-minute roller-coaster ride" with rapids at every bend. Truly though, any season suits the Karnali. Different Treks Nepal funds a school along the banks of the Karnali River . A portion of every Karnali trip is donated to the school. Your expeditions will not only is a great experience, but a meaningful contribution to the future by providing supplies for the school children.
