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 Royal 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. |

Safety |
• Safety is the most important
part of any river trip. Choosing
a professional veteran rafting
company is the first step. So it
helps to abide by the following
tips:
• Pick your river with care.
Seek information from a rafting
agency, local experts, and
literature on river levels and
difficulty.
• There should be a minimum of
two rafts per trip, so that one
can help when a fall happens
from the other.
• Carry first-aid kit, survival
and rescue gear.
• Check to see that end loops
and the leash are adequate
before you push off. This makes
it easier to keep hold of your
boat when swimming big rapids,
and also in the event of rescue.
• Be a team person, paddle
synchronously.
• For boats, paddles and
helmets, loud colors are
recommended.
• Wear life jackets and helmets,
properly too.
• Keep your feet and arms inside
the raft at all time.
• When you fall off into a
rapid, float on your back, with
your feet downstream. |
