Day to Day Itinerary:
Day-01: We travel to the far west and arrive in Surkhet very late/early hours of the next morning,
You are able to have a sleep here.
Day-02: After breakfast, we will take a truck as far as the road goes until about lunchtime [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 - 03 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. Lunch will be served en-route and camping at 03:00 p.m. in First Inquiry.
Day - 04 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. 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 at God-house.
Day - 05 More of the same including the notorious GOD'S house rapid. Camp at the Seti Dovan
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 and camping at Jamuna village
Day - 07 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 - 08/ 09 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.
Day - 10 This is the final day of river. We end this trip in the early afternoon at Chisopani
Bridge & lunch is served there. You will catch night bus at about 1530hrs to get back to Kathmandu or you can enjoy in Bardia National Park, which is famous for bird watching.

Note: Rafting itinerary can be changed as per the different situation.
