Tanakpur, in the Champawat district, is home to a river rafting excursion on the Kali River's lower stretch. Flowing between India and Nepal, the Kali River (sometimes called Kali Sharda) serves as a de facto border. Rafting at Tanakpur began recently in the year 2015, but it has soon become a go-to for adventurists as it isn't crowded and is cheaper with a similar experience. The rafting section on the Kali Sharda, which begins from Balawkot and ends at Tanakpur, measures 95 km and is considered one of the longest stretches, with rapids ranging from Class 1 to Class 3. This adventure is unlike any other because of the secluded beaches and exhilarating whitewater rafting sections. The Tanakpur rafting area is perfect for adventurers looking to combine jungle trekking with sand beach camping and rappelling.
