Short
river trips take between one and four days and
do not involve any trekking. Some of these rafting/kayaking
trips involve less challenging white water and
are ideally suited to first time rafters and
families. Others attract experienced thrill-seekers
with their world-class rapids.

Khola: Warm and beautiful (2 days)
Most
of the year, Seti river (class 2 to 3+), famous
for its dazzling scenery, is a gentle river
attracting families, bird watchers, nature lovers
and dreamers. However, during the monsoon, its
swollen rapids prove an exciting test for experienced
rafters and kayakers. The Seti is best river

straightforward
rapids, a panorama of stunning gorges drifts
quietly past. During the monsoon, the river
promises a more challenging ride, with powerful
rapids and whirlpools. Rafting/Kayaking on Trishuli
river can easily be combined with a visit to
Chitwan National Park or Pokhara.
