 Kayaking
Ultimate Descents
Nepal staff are expert kayakers and instructors and they
are always willing to share their enthusiasm and expertise. We encourage
advance kayakers to join any of our trips. There is always an expert,
safety kayaker along on any expedition so you need not worry about
being alone on the river. You won't!
Learn
to Kayak…
Ultimate Descents
Nepal run a series of Kayak Clinics each season on Seti
River. These introductory courses are designed for those with little
or no previous kayaking experience. The thrill and gratification of
learning to kayak in the Himalaya is a great start to kayaking. Throughout
the 4-day clinic, you will cover all the basic skills including paddle
strokes, Eskimo rolls, Eskimo rescues and the art of reading whitewater.
The priority is safety, not forgetting however the joys of a more
intimate relationship with the magical Himalayan Whitewaters!
 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 and other supplies down the river
to our campsites.
The Seti River is one of the most beautiful and pristine rivers in
the Himalayas. With dense remote jungle, exquisite sandy beaches and
class II - III whitewater runs, perfect for beginner kayakers

Medium high flows.
** Due to pre-monsoon storms and snowmelt, expeditions at these times
will be high flows.

more challenging rivers…
