The Seti River in Nepal offers short rafting trips through scenic areas with beautiful mountain views. The river has warm, blue water and is suitable for beginners or intermediate kayakers. It is also a good option during winter or for kayaking clinics due to its warm temperature. After rafting, there are options to visit Chitwan National Park, go trekking in Annapurna, or return to Kathmandu. The river features lush vegetation and villages along its banks before emptying out after a 35km, 2-day trip from Damauli to Gaighat.

1. Seti River Rafting
You can have a fairly short trip in the Seti River and offers beautiful mountain views and also unique river
passing through two beautiful and contrasting scenic areas of Manaslu and Annapurna regions. This
River has relatively small volume but blue and warm water and we recommend this as an ideal short trip
for first time rafters or as "Warm-up" for intermediate kayakers. Seti is Best River for learning kayak in
Nepal as she has very best character for this. The water temperature is incredibly warm, making it a
popular choice for winter trips and also for kayak clinics for the course of beginners, diploma and
advanced as well. After your exhilarating white water trip you have options either to drive or fly back to
Kathmandu or to visit the Chitwan National Park or again you can go for the trekking trip in the popular
area of Annapurna region for few days. Most of the year, the Seti is famous for its dazzling scenery is a
gentle river, attracting families, bird watchers, nature lovers and dreamers. However, during the monsoon,
its swollen rapids prove an exciting test for experienced rafters and kayakers. The luxuriant vegetation
visible along the river is a remnant of the vast forested area, which once covered the middle hills of
Nepal. This area is inhabited by Magar who are renowned for generations of service with the Gurkha
forces. Saranghat is a colorful middle hill village where you will have first night's camp on a spacious
beach below the village. After you complete the rafting adventure trip, you get a choice between coming
back to Kathmandu or continuing journey to visit the Chitwan National Park or to Pokhara.
