The Seti Karnali Rafting Expedition – 7 Days is designed for travelers who want the essence of Nepal’s far-western white-water adventure in just one week. Operated by Karnali Rafting & Adventure Pvt. Ltd., this itinerary focuses on the most scenic and action-packed sections of the Seti and Karnali rivers, skipping the gentler upstream stretches to maximize excitement per day.

This trip is ideal for busy adventurers or those combining rafting with other Nepal activities, while still wanting a fully immersive wilderness river experience.
