THE KALI/SARDA
RIVER RAFTING EXPEDITION
The Kali river forms the international border
between India and Nepal in its upper reaches.
A self-contained river journey down this river
is one of the prime options in this part of the
Himalaya. The river flows past terraced farms
of Kumaoni and Nepali villages, fresh water streams,
sandy beaches, thick tropical jungles, plantations
as we travel downstream through the terai belt
negotiating exciting white water. With the Mahseer
making it an angler's delight, the lack of road
access makes it a complete wilderness journey.
After the first few days of serene float past
its confluence with the Saryu at Pancheshwar (also
a famous fishing spot) with the occasional big
rapid, the Kali makes its final descent to the
plains in the last day on river, beginning with
the mighty Chooka rapid. Flowing past the terai
hills after densely forested hillsides, this trip
is an outdoor wilderness experience in a league
of its own.
