SETI RIVER
GRADE 2-3+
2 DAYS
The Seti river is well known for the best-two day whitewater rafting experience
in Nepal, especially in the summer season. The rafting site is in an isolated
and beautiful area and there are numerous challenging rapids. From Damauli, the
put-in point, the route covers 32 km (20 miles) to the confluence with the Trisuli
river and is suitable both for beginners and for experienced rafters. The
tranquillity of the area might particularly suit honeymooners, but families are
also sure to enjoy it.
Starting Point:- Damauli (On the way to Pokhara)
Ending Point:- Gaighat (On the way to Chitwan)
Day 1:
We meet in our office in Pokhara or Kathmandu at 6:30 AM with your very light personal
gear. Then we start driving the scenic road to the starting point at Damauli. On arrival
our guides will give you a safety briefing as well as some instructions about paddling.
After the safety briefing, you set off to paddle down to the point where you enter the Seti,
where lunch will be served; then in the afternoon you raft down to Keshavtar, the site of
your first camp, encountering the challenge of numerous grade 3+ rapids (4- in summer season)
and enjoying the landscape and scenery of the area. Have fun at the camp, enjoying the
campfire and the tranquillity of the night.
Day 2:
After breakfast has been served, get set to paddle down to Gaighat, meeting on the way the
challenge of the “Cock and Rock” rapid and enjoying the views at every turn. All too
soon the current brings you to Gaighat, where lunch is served. After lunch we will drive you back
to Pokhara or Kathmandu, but you also have the option to go to Chitwan National Park for a jungle
safari (highly recommended).
