The Kaligandaki White Water River rises in Mustang which is close to the border of Tibet. It is located between Dhaulagiri and Annapurna range. The source of this river coincides with the Tibetan border and Ganges-Brahmaputra watershed divide. The river then flows south through the ancient kingdom of Mustang.
It flows through a sheer-sided, deep canyon immediately south of the Mustang capital of Lo Manthang, then widens as it approaches Kagbeni where high Himalayan ranges begin to close in. The river continues southward past Jomsom, Marpha, and Tukuche to the deepest part of the gorge about 7 km south of Tukuche in the area of Lete. The gorge then broadens past Dana and Tatopani toward Beni if you need any more information please email us at info@alpinejourneys.com are phurba75@hotmail.com.
