Quick answer
It is based at Seti River (Pokhara Gorge). Use your current location for navigation; as a planning reference, it is about 5.2 km from Lakeside (Halan Chowk). Plan for 4 hours of activity time, with 13 min of total journey time from that reference point where route data is available, and easy difficulty.
Put in at the Seti Gorge below Pokhara and raft 12 km of Grade 2–3 milky-white water through narrow limestone canyon walls — the Seti's colour (caused by suspended calcium carbonate, not silt) makes this the only white-water river run with genuinely clear-looking water in Nepal. Suitable for beginners and families; no experience required. Take-out at Hemja for a short drive back to Lakeside.
