Seti River Rafting Overview

Seti River Rafting is the perfect rafting river for a thrilling adventure experience. The river is popular among first-time rafters and is considered the safest river for rafting, kayaking, and family trips. It has a relatively small volume of water, a blue and pleasant water temperature, and gentle rapids of classes II and III. Seti River Rafting is largely for rafting beginners and those who want to minimize dangers due to its gentle rapids. 

The Seti River flows through two magnificent and picturesque locations, providing a good range of Nepalese landscapes, including local communities, terraced rice fields, waterfalls, suspension bridges, a jungle rich with flora and fauna, and a stunning white sand beach for camping under the stars. Seti means white, as the river water is mixed with white clay, giving it a whitish appearance. However, owing to the intensity of rainwater, the river turns white only during the monsoon. Similarly, the intensity of the rapid increases during the monsoon as the level of water increases, attracting rafters to challenge with its real adrenaline rush. 

The 35-kilometer rafting journey starts at Damauli, a small hamlet lying on the Prithvi Highway between Mugling and Pokhara, whereas the take-out point is Gai Ghat. We pass through the Magar village and, during the trip, discover the distinctive characteristics of Magar culture, lifestyle, and much more. 

Seti River, a warm-water rafting destination, is ideal for family outings and get-togethers in a gorgeous setting. Enjoy the sounds of birds chirping in a remote region while having fun on the white water with Mountain Delight's team.

Seti River Rafting Itinerary

Collapse All -
bed Hotel meals Welcome Dinner

We drive to Damauli from Kathmandu early in the morning. We'll start down the Seti Khola when the rafts have been rigged. We will spend the entire day in the densely wooded forest canyon. The lush foliage we observe is a relic of the once-vast wooded region that formerly blanketed Nepal's middle hills. Overnight at a local lodge.

bed Hotel meals Breakfast

Even today, the locals are enthralled by our presence. Rafting is an excellent opportunity to see animals in their natural habitat. While we stop for lunch, we can explore the surrounding areas, take photographs, watch birds or you can relax. We will come across a little but tricky rapid near the town of Sarnghat later in the afternoon. Saranghat is a picturesque middle hills village inhabited by Magars, who are known for decades of service with the Gurkha troops. Our first night will be spent camping on a large beach just below the settlement area. Overnight in a tented camp.

bed Hotel meals Breakfast

We'll start down the river after breakfast and repacking the raft. After passing through Seti Khola and entering the Trishuli River, we come upon a technical grade 3 rapids. The Terai plain appears in front of us as the main hills fade away. The landscape has drastically transformed. Drive back to Kathmandu/Chitwan/Pokhara via twisted harsh rock formations that give way to sandstone and gravel deposited by antecedent rivers. Overnight at a hotel.

Amazing!

Both the 4 day Trekk to Poon Hill and other aspects of our 3 week trip to Nepal which have been arranged and made possible by Mountain Delights have been amazing! A truly wonderful experience!

Exceptional support and a pleasure to work with

I cannot recommend Mountain Delights Tracks and Expeditions highly enough. When I suddenly needed to change flight tickets and struggled to find accommodation in Kathmandu, Caramal and the team stepped in immediately. Always responsive, always helpful, and always calm and solution-oriented – even in a stressful situation. Their dedication, reliability and genuinely friendly approach made a huge difference for me. It was truly a pleasure to work with them, and I felt supported every step of the way. An outstanding company with people who really care.

Fantastic adventure and Well organized

Me and my husband had a fantastic trekking tour to Everest Base Camp (EBC) from Lukla and back with mountain delight trek. The guide Tilak was very helpfull and kind and full of positive energy and we enjoyed his trekking all the way. Also the porter was very helpfull and kind. We experienced the shepard culture and the shepards are so polite and they have a great hospitality. The Nature is so besutifull and the mountains are amazing. We Saw EBC on a sunny day and I could imagine the trekking to the summit of Everest.
It was an adventure I Will remember for the rest of my life. I will recommand this firm to do the trekkings in himalaya as you can trust this experienced firm 100 pct.

We used Mountain Delight Treks to trek Everest Base Camp

We used Mountain Delight Treks to arrange a 14 day tour to Mount Everest Base Camp and around. Mountain Delight Treks is a very professional company and they know their business to the smallest detail. As part of their business they lend out important gear as sleeping bags, very warm down jackets and more to make the trek as comfortable as possible. And it is all quality gear.
Furthermore, the company’s owner, Ram, is overseeing everything and following all treks on a daily basis. It is clear that Ram and Mountain Delight Treks are doing their outmost to give their clients the best possible experience.
It is also important to mention our guide Tilak. He really did his outmost to make the trek as great an experience as possible. He was up early, worked late and was constantly explaining what we saw and passed on our way. It was also his initiative to change the route back due to a heavy snowfall. We could not continue along the planed route. Instead he arranged visits to several small villages “off route”. This was in itself a very interesting part of the journey. We met so many kind local people and got some very unique experience.

Trekking in Langtang Valley

Would highly recommend Mountain Delights. We had an amazing time trekking in the Langtang Valley. Our guide, Dipak Nepal, did a fantastic job and made everything run smoothly throughout the trek. We didn’t have to worry about anything. Our two porters were also incredible. We would love to go trekking with Mountain Delights again in the future!

Poon Hill and ABC trek

I can really recommend Mountain Delights. We did a 9-day trek to Poon Hill and ABC and the whole experience was great.

Right from the start, Ram was super helpful in the office, giving us clear info and a lot of time to help figure out what trek suited us best. Our guide, Geli Sherpa, was a great guy, very professional but also shared so much about his culture and even joined in on our card games in the evening. Our porter, Peam Sherpa, did an amazing job and we were so glad to have him with us.

The best part was Geli’s expertise. He noticed the weather was shifting and suggested we reach base camp a day early. That easy change gave us "crazy good" weather and an amazing sunrise and sunset. Even when our flight to Pokhara was 3 hours late due to weather, they handled everything so smoothly that we never felt stressed.

The whole trip felt very personal and safe. I’m already looking forward to my next adventure with them!
