“Short & Sweet"
Only 30 minutes from Lakeside Pokhara, this “short & sweet” adventure offers 1 ½ hours of non-stop adrenaline filled class IV / IV+ rapids. This fairly technical river offers fantastic Annapurna mountain views, crystal clear Himalayan white water, and a beautiful gorge decorated by suspension bridges & prayer flags blowing in the wind.
This trip is a local favorite, as it requires very little driving and offers more white water rapids only 90 minutes than some other rivers provide in 2-3 days!
We operate the Upper Seti twice a day, giving you ultimate flexibility and the chance to fit in all the other great adventure activities that Pokhara – the adventure capital of Nepal has to offer!
If you are looking for the perfect little adrenaline fix, without the hassle of too much packing up & driving – then look no further!
