Overview

The Seti Karnali Rafting Expedition – 11 Days is one of Nepal’s most pristine and thrilling river journeys. Operated by Karnali Rafting & Adventure Pvt. Ltd., this expedition takes you deep into the remote river valleys of far-western Nepal, where the Seti River winds through untouched wilderness before merging with the mighty Karnali.

This exclusive rafting trip blends adventure, nature, and culture, offering paddlers a chance to tackle Class III–IV rapids, drift through lush jungle corridors, and camp on untouched beaches under starlit skies. Away from commercial rafting zones, the Seti Karnali is wild and secluded, giving adventurers a raw and authentic Himalayan river experience.

Over 11 days, you’ll navigate technical rapids, float past remote villages, and witness exotic wildlife such as otters, kingfishers, and eagles. The journey is fully supported by our expert guides, who handle all safety, camp setup, and logistics, so you can focus on the thrill of rafting and the serenity of nature.
