Day 4. After breakfast, we will take a truck as far as the road goes until about lunch time [this all depends on availability be flexible].

After lunch we walk all afternoon to the put-in point at Sauli. A great walk which high lights just how "out there" you really are. You pass local villages and spectacular scenery, and then you hit the river.


Day 5. After having heavy breakfast at 8:00 a.m. we get ready for wild ride.

This section of the River is terribly wild. Continues rapid makes rafter forget to breathe.


Day 6. This is the type of day that people imagine when they think of Himalayan water.

It is big and continuous. We enter into the Jungle Corridor. This is a narrowing jungle clad gorge and it is all ours.


Day 7. More of the same including the notorious GOD'S house rapid.

Camp at the Seti Dovan and relax.


Day 8. 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 breathe taking scenery and camping at Jamuna village


Day 9. This is a holiday

after all so we have programmed a rest day so you can take time to enjoy your surroundings and relax on a great sandy beach.


Day 10. We see the rapids dying off as we come out of the gorge.

We pass the confluence with the Seti River where the river broadens. Today, the next day and a half are a chance to enjoy your journey admiring the country and villages you pass. You will have seen the safety kayakers in action and will no doubt be inspired, so ask the guides for some supervised instruction, or take over the raft and learn about the river. You see there is more to a rafting expedition than just rafting.
