Originating from the snow-capped peaks of the Annapurna and Machapuchare ranges, the Seti River flows gently through remote villages, terraced fields, and dense forests, providing adventurers with a tranquil yet exhilarating whitewater rafting experience.

The rafting adventure typically begins with a scenic drive or flight from Kathmandu to the put-in point near the town of Damauli or the village of Madi. Here, participants receive safety briefings and instructions from experienced river guides before embarking on their journey down the Seti River.

As the raft sets off downstream, participants are treated to breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, with lush greenery, towering cliffs, and cascading waterfalls lining the riverbanks. The Seti River offers a mix of gentle stretches and thrilling rapids, providing an enjoyable experience for rafters of all levels.

The Seti River is known for its crystal-clear waters, allowing participants to see the riverbed and surrounding scenery with remarkable clarity. As the journey progresses, participants have the opportunity to spot a variety of bird species, including kingfishers, herons, and eagles, as well as other wildlife such as monkeys and deer.

Throughout the rafting expedition, participants are accompanied by experienced river guides who ensure safety and provide instructions for navigating the rapids. The guides also share their knowledge of the local culture and environment, offering insights into the traditional way of life in the Seti River Valley.

Nights are spent camping on sandy riverbanks or in picturesque riverside campsites, where participants can relax under the starry skies, enjoy delicious meals prepared by the expedition team, and share stories around the campfire. The tranquil ambiance of the river provides a peaceful backdrop for a restful night’s sleep amidst the wilderness.
