Drive Towards The Put In Point Damauli

In the very early hour of morning around 6 am we will take our drive towards the rafting starting point Damauli to start the exciting Seti river rafting. It will take about 2hrs drive from Pokhara and 5hrs from Kathmandu. Our guide will provide short lessons on the use of paddles, safety measures, and emergency rescue tips. We start on the Madhi Khola, which after a few minutes, joins into the Seti. Rafting in Seti River is full of scenic views with undisturbed wildlife and bird watching. Seti is a 2-3 grade white river, and it offers some of the very terrifying and challenging turns during the raft. But believe it’s all that you are going to enjoy the most.

We will be in the water, enjoying and playing for about 4-5 hrs and set our day camp on the beach at Saranghat. Saranghat is a colorful middle hills village.

Full Day Rafting Adventure

We will finish our breakfast early and set for the full day rafting adventure. We will be fully prepared today as we will be going to have some grand thrilling rapids. Cross 2-3 rapids and join to the Trisuli River. The twisted severe rock formations give away to sandstone and gavel deposited by antecedent rivers. We will pass the very religious place, Gaighat, watching the pilgrims praying in water, or paying homage. We will have our lunch here at Gaighat and have some free time to stroll around this sacred place. From here, we can join our trip to Chitwan national park or return towards our destinations.
