Seti

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

The river trip begins down a remarkable forested canyon which brings rafters immediately close to Mother Nature. The surrounding greenery incudes 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 on 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 tackeled 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.
