Modi Khola, Kali Gandaki
We found some random Swedish guys wearing kayaking t-shirts in Pokhara and ended up scheming with them to do some boating. We set off on another multi-day trip starting on the Modi Khola and continuing on into the Kali Gandaki river. We started off with a crew of 7 (6 burns and only one mamba between us!), but Sara was struck with a touch of Dehli Belly and had to walk out after one day – leaving us with a majority of Swedes on the team!

The MRS stove also packed it in, so we were cooking on fires. Luckily we had three vikings to build fires and protect us from the snow leopards which Fran thought might attack any minute! Apparently Maggi noodles are a nepali national dish, and they were very easy to cook and carry in boats!
Other memorable moments of the trip included finding a dead body in an eddy, which wasn’t pleasant! Especially when we had to drink water filtered from the river downstream! We started finding tributaries to camp by from then on!
