Day 01 : We meet at the
Head office at 7AM with your personal gears. This is
a long road suffer so be prepared with water, tit bit
etc. we travel to the far west and arrive in Surkhet
very late/ early hours of the morning. You are able
to have a sleep here.
DAY 02 : After breakfast,
we will take a truck as far the road goes until about
Lunch time. After lunch, we walk all afternoon to Sauli,
the put-in point . A great walk which highlights just
how "out there'' you really are. You pass the local
villages and spectacular scenery, then……..you
hear the river!
Day 03 : The river gives
the team time to build and there is enough challenging
rapids and Water flow to allow for learning errors.
We still manage to get at least one great class IV rapid
in. We camp and get excited about tomorrow.
Day 04 : This is the
type of day that people imagine when they think of Himalayan
water. It is BIG and it is continuous. We enter into
the jungle corridor. This is a narrowing jungle clad
gorge and it is all ours. The team building is put into
full practice and when your guide shouts "all forward"
he really means it! Enjoy the ride all day and camp
in this sensational setting.
Day 05 : More of the
same including the notorious GOD'S HOUSE rapids. Don't
forget to take in the bird life which is equally as
abundant as lush vegetation. Camp and relax.
Day 06 : It isn't over
yet! Keep paddling hard! You really are experiencing
the best of the west on yet another day of great action
and breath taking scenery.
Day 7: This is holiday after all , so we have programmed
a rest day. You can take a time to enjoy your surrounding
and relax on a sandy beach.
Day 08 : While paddling
through the marvelous river gorge, we have chance to
face the challenge of heart-touched rapids before the
river's confluence with Seti(western Seti).
Day 09 : The day of
tranquility to enjoy the scenery and enthno-cultural
life the real Nepalese people. You will also be inspired
and instructed how to rolling and running kayaks by
our expert kayakers. So that, you will have enjoyed
not only the rafting but also the diverse activities.
Day 10 : Having paddled
so many days in this river of paradise, we will unwillingly
give up paddling after Lunch. Our bus is waiting for
us. Those who are going to Bardia National Park for
Jungle Safari(highly recommended), this is the place
for going to Bardia.
Day 11 : Arrive early
in the morning in Kathmandu or Pokhara. What a tremendous
journey !!!
Kayaking Trip

Kayakers. Most rapids are pool -drop and there are surfing
waves almost all the way down the river. The kayakers
of Himalayan Worldwide are world class whether for rescue
matter or to share their enthusiasm. We always inspire
and advise all the kayakers to join our expeditions.
Don't worry about the cost, Himalayan Worldwide is your
companion in Nepal.
