Mirmee
Mirmee, a part of Syangja District and Gandaki Zone. Mirmee is a hub for trade and education for Syangja, Gulmi and Parbat districts. It is situated in such a place where three zones of Nepal - Gandaki, Dhaulagiri and Lumbini get connected geographically. Syangja is one of the seventy-five districts of Nepal, a landlocked country of South Asia. The district, with Syangja as its district headquarters, covers an area of 1,164 km² and has a population
(2001) of 317,320. Syangja lies at the height of about 1088 meters (3572 feet) above the sea level. It lies at about
latitude 28°4'60 North and longitude 83°52'0 East.
Syangja in 1994 under the auspices of the South Asia Poverty Alleviation Programme (SAPAP) of the UNDP,
received million of dollars of international investment and has become a model for national development. Syangja's
model has proved so successful that the Government of Nepal joined forces with the SAPAP to extend the project to
other districts and make it a model for national development. It has been initiated or implemented in at least 200
Village Development Councils (VDCs) of 45 districts of Nepal.
The other main feature of this district is the Siddhartha Highway named after Gautam Buddha which connects
Bhairahawa with Pokhara via Syangja. The highway crosses this district in the east to Kubende and in the west to
Ramdi. It is the oldest highway of Nepal built more than 40 years ago.
Many different ethnicities of people live in this district. The major groups consists of Brahmin, Kshetriya, Gurung,
Magar and others. The people are famous for their unique identity. Brahmin and chetri (Kshetriya) are renowned by
their representation in the governmental jobs and Indian army respectively.

Whitewater wilderness Expedition,The Kali begins its journey high on the Tibetan plateau in the kingdom of Mustang. Using the Deepest gorge in the world that is formed between the Mt. Annapurna (8346m) Massif and Mt. Dhaulagiri (8046m) and named after the ferocious goddess kali, the kali the Gandaki is one of Nepal's very best rivers for whitewater Adventure rafting.
The Rapid run thick and fast form day one just below the put-in point at near Beni.For most of the three day expedition there is little relent .Mostly Grade III rapid-but sometimes really exhilarating grade Iv and Grade IV+-the kali gandaki caries us cavorting on though steep-walled gorges, under cascading waterfalls... to day 3,the last morning.. a grand finale of spectacular, photogenic ,big-time whitewater and far more than just the river ,the rewards in clued stunning upstream view of the Mt.annapurna range, peaceful beach camps on the river bank and the remote villages of at least five of Nepal's main Ethic Group.
Duration: 3 days
River Distance: 72 Kms.
River start point: Near Beni
River finish point: Mirmere
Outward travel time: 4 hours
River grade: III - IV
Return travel time: 5 hours
Day 02: Once the rafts are packed we start down the river for a day mixed with adrenaline calm and spectacular scenery including views of Annapurnna 1 and Himachuli. We will tackle many class III sections and the challenging class IV named REFUND. This section of river is abundant with vines, wildlife and lush vegetation hanging from the cliff faces. Our campsite is below the village of Purti Ghat.
Day 03: Soon after being back on the water we reach the holy village of Seti Beni. The river has deposited a house size boulder in the confluence with a smaller tributary. Since confluence is considered holy places in the Hindu religion, this boulder has become an important shrine to the local river people. There is usually a great audience to watch and listen to the spectacle as each team negotiates the rapid that has formed around this holy place. Not long after this it is time for the journey to end. Our bus will be waiting for us. We load up the gear and prepare for the bus journey back to Pokhara.

First day we begin with some class III rapids this is a warm up for the team, after 10/15 minutes you will be encountering 2 big class 4 rapids i.e. ‘Small Brother’ and ‘Big Brother’. Your guide will be making you work hard at doing exercises to work as a team maneuvering the raft efficiently. After scouting the rapid, the safety kayaks will go first then the raft. Soon after encountering these two big rapids we will reach the Modi Khola confluence where we will choose the beach for the evening campsite. We unload the rafts and one raft team prepares dinner and rum punch whilst the others play or relax and take in the scenery.Day 02: Once the rafts are packed we start down the river for a day mixed with adrenaline calm and spectacular scenery including views of Annapurnna 1 and Himachuli. We will tackle many class III sections and the challenging class IV named REFUND. This section of river is abundant with vines, wildlife and lush vegetation hanging from the cliff faces.

Kayaking:
This is a great river for intermediate to advanced Kayakers. Most rapids are pool-drop and there are surfing waves almost all the way down the river. Many rafting operators in Nepal has the best kayakers and instructors l, they are always willing to share their enthusiasm and expertise. We encourage kayakers to join any of our trips. You needn’t worry as our safety kayaker is always with the expedition............comment through your facebook account, look at the bottom of the page......................................
