River Rafting Itinerary: |
Day 01: We leave
Kathmandu in the early morning and drive to
Damauli, our put in point. After the rafts are
rigged we will set off down the Seti Khola. We
spend the whole day within its forested canyon.
The luxuriant vegetation we see is a remnant of
the vast forested area, which once covered the
middle hills of Nepal.
Even now we are objects of curiosity to the
villagers. Traveling by rafts is a perfect way
to view undisturbed wildlife. When we stop for
lunch we have time to explore, Photograph,
birdwatcher, swim or relax. Later in the
afternoon we encounter a small but technical
rapid near the village of Saranghat. Inhabited
by Magars, who are renowned for generations of
service with the Gurkha forces Saranghat, is a
colorful middle hills village. Our first night
we will set up camp on a spacious beach below
the village
Day 02: After we have finished breakfast and
repacked the raft, we will set off down river.
Later we encounter the technical rapid grade 3
shortly after the rapid we leave Seti Khola and
enter Trisuli River. Here the middle hills
recede and the Terai plain opens before us. The
Topography has changed dramatically. The twisted
severe rock formations give away to sandstone
and gavel deposited by antecedent rivers.
After lunch we have opportunity to visit a
unique religious community , Devhgat . Each Year
thousands of pilgrims visit the ashram to
worship.
At this point Kali Gandaki joins the Trisuli
River. The river now becomes the Narayani River.
We float further down to a small town
Narayanghat. Where we end our River trip. |
