The luxuriant vegetation visible along the river is a remnant of the vast forested area which once covered the middle hills of Nepal. In the afternoon a small outfitters are but technical rapid is encountered near the village of Saranghat, inhabited by Magars, who are renowned for generation of service with the Gurkha forces. Saranghat is a colorful specious beach below the village.
Here middle hills and the Terai plains opens up before us. The topography gets changed dramatically. The twisted severe rock formations give way to sandstone and gravel deposited by antecedent rivers. After lunch you can visit a unique religious community - Devghat, well known among the Hindus. Every year in mid-January, thousands of pilgrims visit the river and the ashram to worship. At this point where the Kaligandaki joins the Trishuli and becomes the Narayani River you get a choice between coming back to Kathmandu or continuing journey to visit the Royal Chitwan National Park.
