Overview

The Seti Karnali Rafting Expedition is one of Nepal’s most exclusive multi-day white-water adventures, designed for thrill-seekers and nature lovers. Organized by Karnali Rafting and Adventure Pvt. Ltd., this journey combines rafting through pristine jungle canyons with immersive exploration of Nepal’s wild west.

The Seti Karnali River, flowing through the remote Sudurpashchim hills, is famed for its turquoise waters, hidden beaches, and deep jungle gorges. This untouched wilderness eventually merges into the mighty Karnali River, offering a blend of technical white-water rapids, calm scenic sections, and incredible biodiversity.

You’ll camp beside roaring rivers under a starlit Himalayan sky, navigate exhilarating rapids, and explore isolated fishing villages. Our experienced rafting guides ensure maximum safety while delivering a truly off-the-beaten-path river expedition — far from crowded commercial rafting routes.

  • This expedition is designed for adventurous travelers comfortable with multi-day camping and moderate physical activity.
