Your guides will start unloading the bus and pumping up the rafts. You will be given your equipment and given a full safety briefing. Once the rafts are loaded, everything you need for three days has to come with us as there’s no road access! it’s time to set off. After just ten minutes, you are greeted with the two biggest rapids of the whole river! Big and Little Brother. These will certainly get your heart pumping! After 4-5 hours on the river, we will pull up to a beautiful sandy beach where we will make camp and start cooking dinner. There will be opportunities to play football, relax, swim, and take in the surroundings. This camp is famous for its large statue of Shiva that watches over the camping site.

Day 2: Full day of rafting in Kaligandaki
You will wake up early in the morning, pack the camp up, and reload the rafts before setting off! The first rapid of the day, appropriately named ‘Good morning’, will wake you up for the day ahead. There are many class III rapids to enjoy today. Stop halfway in the day to have lunch on the banks of the river, before tackling the next series of rapids. It’s then the same procedure as last night as you set up a temporary camp on the river banks for one more night under the stars. On clear nights it’s even possible to see the milky way from here.
Day 3: Rafting and optional kayak adventure
After a hearty breakfast, the camp will be packed up one final time. Paddle your last rapids before hitting a fairly long flat section to finish off the day.
