The Kali Gandaki Gorge, or Andha Galchi, is the gorge of the Kali Gandaki river in the Himalayas in Nepal, cut between the eight-thousander peaks of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna I. The portion of the river directly between the two peaks, seven kilometres downstream from Tukuche, sits at an elevation 5,571 m (18,278 ft) lower than Annapurna I's own summit, making it, by some measures, one of the deepest gorges in the world.
