Just 30 minutes from Pokhara’s Lakeside, the Upper Seti Kayaking Run is a short but seriously intense white-water challenge — and it’s for advanced, experienced kayakers only. This isn’t a gentle float or a rafting trip; it’s a full-on, technical descent through continuous Class III+/IV rapids. The water is fast, clear, and powerful, with stunning views of the Annapurna range and a narrow gorge strung with prayer flags and a suspension bridge.

In just 90 minutes, the Upper Seti packs in more action than many rivers do over several days, which is why it’s a firm favourite among local paddlers. We run it twice daily, so if you’re a confident kayaker looking for an intense hit of white-water in Nepal’s adventure capital, this is the one to do

The Upper Seti is short, steep, and full of punch — a compact class III–IV run that delivers non-stop white-water from start to finish, surrounded by stunning Annapurna views, sparkling Himalayan water, and a beautiful gorge decorated with prayer flags and a suspension bridge. Best from September to early June, it’s the ultimate quick-hit rafting adventure in Pokhara — intense & beautiful

The Middle Seti River offers a slightly  gentler ride through classic Nepali scenery — rolling class II–III rapids that wind past rice terraces, village life, and lush jungle-covered hills. It’s a journey perfect for families, first-timers, or those looking to soak in the beauty of the valley whilst experiencing the intensity of white-water rapids, delivering the perfect mix of fun, splash, and scenery. Flowing from the Annapurna foothills, it runs best from September to early June, meaning that we often raft this stretch when it is high water/ there is too much water in the Upper Seti.

The Fusre Khola is a short, steep, and technical Class III/III+ run that offers consistent, engaging whitewater. Tucked into a narrow gorge just outside Pokhara, it features continuous drops, tight lines, and quick-moving current that keep paddlers focused from start to finish. Best run from October to May, it’s a reliable option when the Upper or Middle Seti are running high. This section provides a fun, compact challenge for paddlers looking to refine their skills on a more technical creek-style run.
