Water transportation has been developing in the Mirmi Aandhimuhan area of Kaligandaki rural muncipality as a result of the Kaligandaki barrage and reservoir. The reservoir which holds the waters of the Kaligandaki and Aandhikhola rivers allows water transport stretching 5 km. Watersport in the form of rafting is a key attraction for adventure enthusiasts. Starting from Nayapul in Parbat district, rafting from there to Mirmi is a three day adventure trip. Considered challenging and the second most dangerous river due to strong rapids, there is high demand for rafting on this stretch of the river. Peak season for the water sport starts from October to May and the rafting route touches Parbat, Baglung, Syangja and Gulmi district.
