Rafting In Nepal
Located right at the foot of the worlds highest mountains, Nepal could have been designed specifically for white water enthusiasts. Rafting in Nepal with a vast range of white water, there is something for everyone. With a choice of everything from a ½ day excursion to an epic 12 day expedition! This also has the added benefit of dramatically cutting down the need for bus travel as the rivers can transport you to and from a host of Nepal’s most popular destinations.
The Nepalese government has opened 16 rivers for commercial rafting. These are graded between 1 and 5 so there is something for almost anyone. Safety is our first priority, so we only use fully qualified, experienced rafting instructors and guides.

The Seti river is considered the best river for people to first experience the thrills of rafting or kayaking. For most of the year it is a gentle river, attracting families and bird watchers with its gentle rapids. It is classed from 2 to 3+ depending on the season. If you are more experienced and would like a tougher challenge why not try it out in monsoon season where the water levels are considerably higher.
This surprisingly warm river passes through beautiful scenery with large green hills and valleys all around.
Nature lovers will enjoy the abundance of different bird species you will see as you travel along the waters of the Seti.For those wanting a family rafting trip or who are new to the activity the Seti is perfect. It offers the excitement of the rapids without the intensity of complex or challenging rapids.
