Travelers

The boat nosed into a current that seemed to have its own will: clear, cold Seti water pushing against the hull, threading the raft through a narrow gorge while forested slopes flashed by. Paddles dipped in unison; laughter and shouted commands braided with the splash of the river. For two hours the canyon compresses and expands—quick bursts of whitewater followed by broad, reflective pools where you can catch your breath and watch kingfishers quarter the surface.

Adventure Tips

Morning departures are calmer

Book an early trip to avoid afternoon winds and get clearer views of the gorge and foothills.

Bring closed-toe water shoes

Gravelly shorelines and wet footwork near the raft make grip and protection essential.

Pack a small dry bag

Keep your phone, documents and a spare layer dry—operators often provide small storage but space is limited.

Check monsoon conditions

During June–September river levels rise and flows change; confirm schedules and safety updates before booking.
