Lower Kali River Expedition
This is a rafting expedition on lower section of Kali river (also called Kali Sharda), which forms a natural border between India and Nepal. The trip is disconnected from roads and civilization, as the river enters a wide gorge from Pancheshwar, and flows through the Terai jungles. Camp sites are heavenly on isolated remote beaches. The region is rich in flora and fauna, and one can easily sight a wide variety of rare birds and wildlife. Throughout the trip, we would have India on our right side, and Nepal on our left. The river trip starts from Pancheshwar, and finishes at Tanakpur. This is a high volume river with mostly up to class III kind of rapids and one class IV rapid. In all we would be rafting on three days, and one day would be for transit. One night would be at guest house in Lohaghat, and two nights camping besides the river.
