Ideal for those looking for a short two-day trip in a remote location, the Seti River Rafting is suitable for a family outing This river takes rafters through lovely forested regions and over plenty of easy rapids. The put-in point is close to the Kathmandu- Pokhara Highway and is easily reached after a short drive.

Seti River Rafting trip begins down a remarkable forested canyon which brings rafters immediately close to Mother Nature. The surrounding greenery induces a warm feeling on one of Nepal’s warmest rafting rivers. The jungle brings its own reward with wildlife sightings right along the river. There is much scope for exploration, photography, and bird watching for which there is plenty of time in this short run. One also has the opportunity to swim or just relax on the sandy beach. On the second day, Class III rapids need to be tackled but thereafter, it is an easy float until the end of the trip at Gai Ghat. From here one may continue on to Chitwan for a safari or drive back to Kathmandu.

You can have a fairly short trip on the Seti River which offers beautiful mountain views and also a unique river passing through two beautiful and contrasting scenic areas of the Manaslu and Annapurna regions. This River has a relatively small volume but blue and warm water and we recommend this as an ideal short trip for first-time rafters or as a "Warm-up" for intermediate kayakers. Seti River Rafting is the Best River for learning to kayak in Nepal as she has the very best character for this. The water temperature is incredibly warm, making it a popular choice for winter trips and also for kayak clinics for the course of beginners, diplomas, and advanced as well. After your exhilarating whitewater trip, you have options either to drive or fly back to Kathmandu or to visit the Royal Chitwan National Park, or again you can go for the trekking trip in the popular area of Annapurna region for a few days.
