Itinerary and highlights
Begin your adventure with convenient pickup from your hotel in the Pokhara Lakeside area. Travel by vehicle toward Hyamja, the starting point for your Upper Seti River rafting experience.
Arrive at the river and meet your professional rafting team. Get fitted with your rafting equipment and receive a comprehensive safety briefing. Your guide will explain paddling techniques, river safety, and what to expect during the journey.
Climb aboard your inflatable white-water raft and begin your journey down the Upper Seti River.
Work together with your team to navigate exciting Class II+ and III rapids, bouncing waves, fast-flowing sections, and technical turns. Between the rapids, enjoy calmer stretches of river and take in the surrounding Himalayan landscapes, lush vegetation, and dramatic river gorges.
During suitable conditions, enjoy additional adventure activities such as swimming in the river and an optional cliff jump. These activities are subject to water levels, weather, and your guide's safety assessment.
Pass beneath a striking suspension bridge decorated with colorful prayer flags as the river winds through the surrounding landscape. Take a moment to appreciate the unique combination of Himalayan scenery, rushing white water, and dramatic rock formations.
Reach the rafting take-out point and safely leave the raft. Return your equipment, change into dry clothes, and take a short break after your river adventure.
Relax during the return drive to Pokhara. Your adventure concludes with drop-off at your hotel in the Pokhara Lakeside area.
