===Backstory and Queue===
The Kali River Rapids is set inside the fictional Anandapur Township , which lies on the Chakranadi River. Signs throughout Anandapur warn that illegal loggers are damaging the environment with slash and burn logging techniques. Because of these environmental concerns, Manisha Gurung (a local woman) started the Kali Rapids Expeditions. Manisha's goal by starting the attraction was to show that there were more eco-friendly ways of creating income for the village.
The entrance to the Kali River Rapids is located just next to the home of its owner Manisha Gurung. After passing by the house, guests follow a path surrounded by bamboo. Continuing on guests stroll by many eroding religious artifacts, before entering the Tiger Temple. Here, guests can see a wall covered with ribbon, as well as bells hanging from the rafters. Each ribbon on the wall represents a prayer made, whereas each bell represents a prayer answered. As guests enter the temple, they may notice that there does not seem to be any particular religion evoked. Instead, Imagineers designed the temple to honor wildlife and animals instead of a particular deity. Throughout the temple, guests can see various religious artifacts and even a large tiger statue. Before venturing deeper into the temple; guests enter a room which holds statues of King Cobras. These are there to protect the Chakranadi River from being harmed by humanity.
The next room in the temple is known as the Painted Pavilion. Here, the Jataka Tales (the stories of the previous lives of the Buddha) have been beautifully painted on the ceiling. After passing through the Painted Pavilion, guests exit the Tiger Temple and enter Mr. Panika's Shop, which is located directly adjacent to the building. Inside the shop, guests can browse through Mr. Panika's huge inventory of (mostly animal related) merchandise. Signs throughout the shop suggest that Mr. Panika is fairly desperate to make sales. Next to the store, guests can see a small bird market, which doesn't have any real birds in it. Across from the market sits an uninhabited aviary.
After meandering their way through the shop, guests finally enter Kali Rapids Expeditions. On the overhead speakers, they can hear Manisha Gurung explain why she started her business. The office itself is littered with old appliances such as a telephone, typewriter, answering machine and film cameras. A slide projector in the room also gives guests a glimpse of the some of the sights that they will see on the rapids. Inside Furthermore, inside the office, guests can also find a map of Anandapur and a raft position chart. As guests enter the second room of the office, they hear someone over the radio warn Manisha that illegal logging is taking place along the river, and that the raft rides should stop. Unfortunately, since Manisha is nowhere to be found, the rafting expeditions continue on. Inside this room, guests can also see stylized painting of many of the scenes that they will soon see on the Kali River Rapids.
