Day-by-Day Itinerary
Early transfer from Pokhara (30 minutes) to the Seti River put-in point. Your expert safety briefing covers paddle commands, swimming positions for rapids, and how to re-enter the raft after a capsize. After a practice session on a flat section of water to build confidence and teamwork, the rafting begins in earnest — Grade II and III rapids through a gorgeous gorge of white limestone walls and lush tropical vegetation. The Seti is renowned for its warm, clear water and its mix of exhilarating rapids and calm stretches ideal for swimming and wildlife spotting. Kingfishers, river otters and grey herons are commonly seen along the banks. Riverside lunch prepared by your support team, then an afternoon of continued rafting before a riverside camp dinner under the stars. Overnight: Riverside tented camp. Meals: All included.
Woken by birdsong and the sound of the river, this second morning delivers the most exciting section of the Seti — a series of Class III rapids through a narrow limestone canyon where the walls rise almost vertically above the water. The churning, adrenaline-charged approach to each rapid followed by the exultant splash of the drop is the perfect finale. A riverside lunch marks the end of the water journey before your vehicle transfer back to Pokhara. Arrive mid-afternoon with plenty of time for a hot shower, lakeside relaxation and dinner. Meals: Breakfast, lunch.
