Seti
River Rafting 01-02 Days

Most of the year, the Seti (class 2
to 3+) famous for its dazzling scenery is a gentle
river, attracting families, bird watchers, nature
lovers and dreamers. However, during the monsoon,
its swollen rapids prove an exciting test for experienced
rafters and kayakers. Seti is also best river for
learning kayak in Nepal. The first day you drive west of Kathmandu
for Damouli roughly 160 km away. After the raft are
rigged, you set off down the Seti River. You spend
the whole day within its forested canyon. In the afternoon
a small outfitter but technical rapid is encountered
near the village of Saranghat. The first night's camp
is is a spacious beach below the village. The next
day you encounter a rapid graded between 3-3 plus,
before reaching Narayani River. The topography gets
changed dramatically. The twisted severe rock formations
give way to sandstone and gravel deposited by the
antecedent river. After lunch you can visit a unique
religious place called Devghat. At this point where
the Kali Gandaki joins the Trishuli and becomes the
Narayani River, you get a choice between to return
Kathmandu or continuing journey to the Royal Chitwan
National Park.
