The Seti River, located in mid-western Nepal, is named after the white minerals found in its water. Fed by the Annapurna mountain range and the sacred Mt. Machapuchare in the Himalayas, the Seti River flows with great force and eventually merges with the Trisuli to form the Narayani River. The warm water of the river, heated by underground springs and geothermal heat, adds to the relaxation of the trip.

Seti River Rafting begins at the starting point of Damauli, located on the Kathmandu to Pokhara highway. From Damauli, embark on an exciting journey as you navigate through the picturesque jungle landscape, green hills and valleys, encountering a variety of bouncy and challenging rapids of class 2 and 3. Camp overnight on the riverbank near rural settlements for a truly immersive experience.
