Seti River Rafting
Seti
is a really unique, pleasant and picturesque river passing
through two beautiful and contrasting scenic areas. Relatively
small volume, blue and warm water makes Seti a perfect
rafting for beginners, intermediate and family. Seti rises
on the southeast slopes of the sacred Mountain Fishtail
and then flows to south, as a fairly typical Nepalese
mountain river.

Itinerary
Day 01:
We leave Kathmandu in the early morning and drive
to Damauli, our put in point. After the rafts are
rigged we will set off down the Seti Khola. We spend
the whole day within its forested canyon. The luxuriant
vegetation we see is a remnant of the vast forested
area, which once covered the middle hills of Nepal.
Even now we are objects of curiosity
to the villagers. Traveling by rafts is a perfect
way to view undisturbed wildlife. When we stop for
lunch we have time to explore, Photograph,
bird watching, swim or relax. Later in the afternoon
we encounter a small but technical rapid near the
village of Saranghat. Inhabited by Magars, who are
renowned for generations of service with |
Canyoning Team for Seti Rescue |
the Gurkha forces Saranghat, is a colorful middle hills
village. Our first night we will set up camp on a spacious
beach below the village.
Day 02:
After we have finished breakfast and repacked the raft,
we will set off down the Seti.. Later we encounter the
technical rapid grade 3 shortly after the rapid
we leave Seti Khola and enter Trisuli River. Here the
middle hills recede and the Terai plain opens before us.
The Topography has changed dramatically. The twisted severe
rock formations give away to sandstone and gavel deposited
by antecedent rivers.
After lunch we have opportunity to visit a unique religious community , Devhgat . Each Year thousands of pilgrims visit the ashram to worship.
At this point Kali Gandaki joins the Trisuli River. The river now becomes the Narayani River. We float further down to a small town Narayanghat. Where we end our River trip.
