A very steep blue mountain river for the expert kayakers. Continuous class IV+ white water with few portages and a spectacular mountain backdrop make this a kayaker’s dream. Can be run as a lead into the Kali Gandaki or combined with a trek to the Annapurna Sanctuary.
The river drains the Annapurna massif and is only 40 kms long. A new Hydro schemes been built down stream and splits the river in to parts. The upper part the more difficult, whereas the lower part still offers plenty of class four white-water.
The river is small and very steep, with technical paddling, lots of medium size boulders and house rocks. Very continuous and few big drops.
The perfect creek boating river with a stunning backdrop of the Annapurnas.
