 Sherpa Guide - Karnali River
The Karnali is Nepal's longest and largest river and with its tributaries, it drains most of the Far West of Nepal.
In terms of volume, the river is comparable to the Sun Kosi, but the Karnali is more constrained by its canyon walls, giving bigger, mote continuous and serious rapids.
This constrained nature of the river means that any increase in volume has more pronounced effect on the difficulty of the rapids and this makes it a river that is best run at low flows.
