Karnali river is located into far west of Nepal: this is one of the most isolated and least explored areas of Nepal. This region offers some tremoudous challenges.

Karnali descends through the Himalayas after rising high in Tibet near Mont Kailash known as the center of universe by both Hindus and Buddhists.

After passing through a series of wonderful gorges and forests, the river emerges ont the plain of Terai, continues across the Royal Bardia wildlife reserve and the northern plain of India.
A trip on the Karnali combines a small trek and an exceptional rafting through tropical jungles with a possibility of a wildlife safari in the bardia national park.

For those who are looking for a long wilderness expedition.
