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. Depending on the level of the river,
day four could still be in the jungle corridor. Once the gorge
is exited the Seti river enters from the right, (this is the
western Nepal Seti, not to be confused with the river close to
Pokhara) and the river grade drops to class 2. Another day or
two brings you to the Bheri river, entering from the left
which has a good camping beach if you want to reach the
take-out at lunchtime the following day. At the take-out,
Chisopani, is an impressive bridge spanning the river and
plenty of shops selling food, soft drinks and cold beer. The
return bus journey to Kathmandu is about twenty hours.
Alternative returns would be via the Bardia national park
which is located nearby, or bus to Nepalganj (2 hours) and fly
to Kathmandu from there. |

Itinerary for Bheri River |
|
|
|
Day 1 :
Fly from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj, it is an hours
flight with spectacular views of the Himalayas. On
arrival drive to the put in point Samjhi ghat which will
take approximately 3 to 4 hours. The drive it self is a
unique experience, winding up through the Siwalik Hills
and passing through local village.
On arrival at the starting point your own-tented camp
awaits you by the bank of the Bheri River. Dinner will
be layout for you around the camp.
Day 2 : KUMALGAUN After breakfast we break camps
and starts on our adventure down the Bheri River. After
20 minutes, We encounter our firsts big rapid, one of
many to come. The Bheri itself is so remote that it
remains a relatively unexplored river of west Nepal. The
first section of the river is quite rough with twisted
bend creating many exiting rapids. We stop for lunch
beside the river and take time to explore the
surrounding area, bird watch or simply laze in the
midday sun. We continue to encounter more white-water
and come to the rest on one of the many sandy beaches.
Day 3 :
Jamu the "Exciting " section gives way to a narrow
gorge section with vertical cliffs of 200-300 feet on
either side interspersed with open valley where there
are small villages. This area is generally scenic but
here too white-water in encountered. Once again we find
one of the many pristine beach for our camp side for the
night.
Day 4 : Royal Bardia National Park The final Day
on the river still holds a few surprises with several
but exciting rapids to be encountered. After an hours
float we arrive at the confluence of the Bheri river and
The Karnali river. Once again we enter another gorge
section, This time opening onto the huge plain plains of
the southern tarai region of Nepal. Once through this
gorge we enter into the Royal Bardia National Park. |
