Our instructors are some of the best whitewater paddlers and kayak instructors in the world, with a strong history of running rivers worldwide. The clinics are supported by state-of-the-art rafting equipment, which carries all personal gear, camping supplies and other needed items down the river to our campsite. The Seti/Trishuli River is one of the most beautiful and pristine rivers in the Himalayas. With dense, remote jungles, exquisite, sandy beaches and Class II–III whitewater runs, this is the perfect river for beginner kayakers to gain the skills needed for later kayaking expeditions.
