Kali Gurung is one of our top river guides in Nepal. He has worked in Nepal, India, Tibet, Bhutan and Japan and is one of the most sought after river guides.
Although working primarily for GRG (he's family business) he does adventure off every now and then to run expeditions overseas for other international companies. He's calm personality, with a hint of cheek makes him every bodies favourite river guide in Nepal.
Growing up on the Trisuli river, rafting has always been in Kali's mind, and as soon as he was old enough - he was off and he's never looked back.
He has led first descents down some of the hardest rivers in the world (notably the Drangme Chhu), he has safely led the BBC down the surging rapids of Bhutanese rapids in search of endangered Tigers, he's trained a new generation of raft guides in Tibet creating many new jobs, works three months of the year on a variety of rivers in Japan and in his 'free' time teaches kayaking to his children in Nepal.
Kali has worked for some of the big names in the whitewater industry - Slime Dai (Peter Knowles), Gerry Moffat, Phil DeReimer, Anthony Eddis-Davis, Chris Jones and Zack Collier to name a few and whenever they have expeditions going out, Kali is always the first person they call on.
When he's not busy being a river guide you can find him at home with his two beautiful girls or in our boathouse working on rafts.
We feel very lucky that Kali is one of us and is always with us to guide our trips, organise land logistics, repair kit in the boat house and generally share a laugh or two! He is without a doubt one of the best river guides and best people you will get to meet in Nepal.
