The Seti Karnali Rafting Expedition is a rare 3-day wilderness rafting journey into Nepal’s far-western frontier, operated by Karnali Rafting and Adventure Pvt. Ltd., a trusted name in adventure tourism and river expeditions in Nepal.
This expedition takes you deep into the heart of the Karnali river system, where the crystal-clear Seti River merges with the mighty Karnali—Nepal’s longest and most powerful river. This region remains one of the least explored adventure destinations in South Asia, offering unmatched natural beauty, untouched landscapes, and authentic river culture.
The journey begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Dhangadhi, followed by a rugged off-road drive to Khimadi. From here, the rafting adventure unfolds through thrilling white-water rapids, peaceful floating sections, jungle corridors, and remote riverbanks accessible only by boat.
Designed for adventure seekers, nature lovers, photographers, and explorers with limited time, this expedition combines rafting, wilderness camping, wildlife spotting, cultural immersion, and relaxation into one compact yet unforgettable experience.
With expert river guides, high-quality equipment, and full logistical support by Karnali Rafting and Adventure Pvt. Ltd., safety, comfort, and adventure go hand in hand throughout the trip.
