Kali Gandaki Gorge, Deep canyon in Gandaki Province, Nepal.
The gorge extends between the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna peaks, with the Kali Gandaki River flowing through its 2,520-meter-deep passage.
The canyon has functioned as a primary trade passage between Tibet and India for centuries, enabling the exchange of goods and resources.
Local Thakali communities near the gorge maintain their traditional practices while Hindu followers search for sacred shaligram fossils along the riverbed.
Trekkers can access the gorge through multiple entry points from Pokhara, with guided tours available throughout the year.
The geological formation contains marine fossils from the Tethys Sea, preserved within the rocks of this Himalayan gorge.
