A big but relatively easy river, with beautiful, Un spoilt
scenery, small gorges, jungle and an abundance of wildlife.
Recommended as an easily accessible and relaxing river trip. A
good river for small inflatable boats {Duchies} or for kayakers
with limited experience. A classic, best-of-its-kind trips that
deserves to be more popular.
The River
Below Ramdi, the river flows east in an open valley for
approximately 100kms between lines of hills before joining with
the Trihsuli River at Devghat to become the Narayani and to flow
onwards to the Ganges and the Indian Ocean. There are no roads
near the river no tourists, and few other river runners; local
people are natural, unspoilt and of course friendly. The lower
half of the river is relatively sparsely populated, with a
jungle corridor and pristine white beach. There is abundant
wildlife along the river - including more than 250 species of
the bird. There are reports of people seeing the rare fresh
water dolphin. Also rare, but occasionally seen, are crocodiles
- the Gharial ones, mainly fish eaters, and the Muggers who will
eat anything... This section of river has seen all kinds of
craft on it from hover craft to jet barges; happily the only
craft that you are likely to see are the dug out canoes that are
used by the local ferry men.
