of exploring the Karnali will tell you that it
is one of the most incredible journeys of life.
The River, in volume is the largest and longest
in Nepal and the upper sections are rarely explored.
Along the lower section the river takes a sharp
turn from south to north, often called the Western
Bend. At this point the river can be accessed
and an incredible adventure through deep gorges
and remote regions begins.The upper Karnali, better
known as the Humla Karnali rises in Tibet from
the holy peak, Mount Kailash some very |

groups can run upper sections. These normally start
with a charter flight to Simikot and then sixteen
to twenty days to the take out at Chisopani. The
Lower Karnali can be run in five to seven days and
still proves a major river journey that has got
to fall in the category of being one of the best
in the world. |
