Home » Seti River Rafting

We leave Kathmandu/ Pokhara in the early morning and drive to Damauli, our Rafting starting 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 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.

After having breakfast and repacked the raft, we will set off down the Seti River. 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, Thousands of pilgrims visit the ashram to worship every year. 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 rafting trip.
