The Seti Karnali Rafting Expedition – 8 Days is a thrilling, condensed version of our classic 11-day adventure, designed for travelers with limited time but a big appetite for adventure. Operated by Karnali Rafting & Adventure Pvt. Ltd., this trip takes you through the most scenic and action-packed stretches of the Seti and Karnali rivers without the longer upstream sections.
You’ll experience intense Class III–IV rapids, serene jungle corridors, and white-sand beach camping in a journey that blends adrenaline and tranquility. The expedition still covers the legendary Seti–Karnali confluence and the wild Karnali River finale, ensuring you don’t miss the most iconic highlights.
By reducing some of the early, gentler sections, this itinerary focuses on maximum adventure per day while keeping comfort, safety, and cultural richness intact. Perfect for paddlers who want quality over quantity without compromising the wild river experience.
