Trip Highlights

  • Plough through,by the hedonistic vehicle drive from Kathmandu.
  • Until today it is the deepest Gorge across the planet.
  • It is older than the Himalayas of Nepal.
  • Exceedingly privileged by the local Thakali people.
  • Ponytail of Mt:Dhaulagiri and Annapurna is divergent by the Gorge.
  • Popular for river rafting due to easy access to the rivers.
  • More euphoric than exhaustion. 

The Kali Gandaki Gorge trekking or Andha Galchi is the gorge of the Kali Gandaki (or Gandaki River) in the Himalayas in Nepal. By some measures the Kali Gandaki gorge trek is the deepest gorge in the world, being 5,571 m or 18,278 ft lower than Annapurna I which bounds it at one point. Gorge depth is difficult to define due to disagreement over rim height so this claim is disputed.

The upper part of the gorge is also called Thak Khola after the local Thakali people who became prosperous from trans-Himalayan trade. Geologically, the gorge is within a structural graven.

The gorge separates the major peaks of Dhaulagiri (8,167 m or 26,795 ft) on the west and Annapurna (8,091 m or 26,545 ft) on the east. If one measures the depth of a canyon by the difference between the river height and the heights of the highest peaks on either side, the gorge is the world's deepest. The portion of the river directly between Dhaulagiri and Annapurna I (7 km downstream from Tukuche) is at an elevation of 2,520 m or 8,270 ft, 5,571 m or 18,278 ft lower than Annapurna I. As tectonic activity forced the mountains higher, the river cut down through the uplift. This Annapurna region is known for shaligram fossils, revered as one of five non-living forms of Lord Vishnu.
