Description
The
warm and beautiful Seti River passes
through stunning jungle scenery, green
hills and valleys. It is an excellent
river for bird-watchers and those interested
in the abundance of nature found on
this trip.
This
normally gentle river has plenty of
small and straightforward rapids. During
the monsoon months the intensity of
the rapids increases and attracts a
radically different set of rafters.
The Seti
is an ideal trip for those wanting to
experience some of the stunning river
scenery in Nepal without the intensity
of complex or challenging rapids. It
is also very well suited to family trips
and best river to learn kayaking in
Nepal.
