Rafting on the Seti River

Why not extend your adventure in Nepal by sampling the excitement of river rafting along the Seti River?

River rafting is one of the most exciting ways of exploring Nepal’s ancient cultures and unspoilt landscapes. Only by rafting can you travel leisurely through the varied terrain exploring scenery inaccessible to all but the river runner.

The rivers of Nepal plunge through narrow gorges, course through lush tropical jungles and meander through the plains of the Terai. On your river journey you pass through a continually changing, verdant landscape, past ancient cultures and diverse people. The serenity of floating the river’s gentle stretches, combined with the exhilaration of shooting mild whitewater rapids, combines to provide a unique experience amid spectacular scenery. The guides we use are trained to international rafting standards and their knowledge of local history, nature and cultures provides an extra dimension.

Day 1 Drive from Kathmandu to Damauli, 162 km, and commence rafting. Overnight camp at Gagantar.

Day 2 Continue rafting to Gaighat. After lunch, drive back to Kathmandu. Overnight hotel (cost included)
