Days 02 :
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

Days 03 :
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.

Days 04 :
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.
