The new road built from Pokhara to Baglung few years ago has dramatically improved access to this river. The put-in and take-out are roughly 3 hours and half-day from Pokhara. True connoisseurs of river exploration will want to extend the rafting trip and continue on below Ramdi down the lower part of the Kali Gandaki, into the Narayani and down to Chitwan National Park because this lower section is easier and different in character.
