Upper Seti River Rafting
A short, lively white-water run close to town.
The Upper Seti is the rafting trip on Pokhara's doorstep: a short, lively grade 2 to 3 run through a forested gorge, an hour of paddling with enough white water to be fun and not so much to be frightening.
It is the easiest rafting in Nepal to fit into a day, and a good introduction for first-timers.
Highlights
- Grade 2–3 white water close to town
- Forested gorge scenery
- Good for first-time rafters and families

Good to know
Do I need rafting experience?+
No. The Upper Seti is a good first run, and your guide handles the lines. You just paddle and hold on.
Can I do it in the monsoon?+
The river runs high and fast in the monsoon, so we judge it day by day and may move the trip for safety.
