Seti River Rafting

Rafting on the Seti River is a wonderful experience for those who want to soak themselves with the beauty of nature along with adventurous water sports.

Passing through the stunning jungle scenery, green hills, and valleys, rafting in the Seti river are the most beautiful moments to share with your family. You can raft here with your family as the raft is suitable for beginners as well. On the other hand, it is an excellent river for bird-watchers and those interested in the abundance of nature. Generally, this gentle river has plenty of small and straightforward rapids. Besides, the intensity of the rapids increases and attracts a radically different set of rafters during the monsoon.

Seti River Rafting offers the lightest rafting experience crosswise over forested terrains in the wonderful Annapurna of Nepal. A short multi-day rafting can be joined from two noteworthy urban areas Pokhara and Kathmandu. Seti River rafting is best experienced for those who want to witness the Nepalese landscapes as well as natural scenarios.

Furthermore, covering the distance of 32 km ending at the confluence of the Trishuli and Seti River, it is one of the warmest rivers of Nepal.

Best Season for Seti River Rafting

In General, the best time for rafting in Seti river is usually from September to early December, and March to early June.

March to May

It is the summer season in Nepal with hot days. So, the water flows at a lower level which generally means the rapids are a grade lower than they are from September to November. However, due to the pre-monsoon storms and snowmelt, the level of rivers rose again in May.

June to August

June to August is a monsoon time in Nepal. During monsoon due to heavy rainfall, there is a high possibility of flood and landslides. Rains in the monsoon mean the rivers carry 10 times their low-water flows and can flood with 60 to 80 times the low-water levels which automatically makes rafting insanely difficult.

September to December

September to early December is one of the most popular times to raft or kayak, with warm, settled weather and exciting runs. However, during December the rivers become too cold to enjoy. You should have a wetsuit. Also, the days are shorter with the start of winter. Likewise, any water sports attempted at this time require a very experienced guide with intimate knowledge of the river and strong teams, as times of high flows are potentially the most dangerous times to be on a river.
