Starting by the shores of the Phewa Tal (lake) in Pokhara, we climb onto the ridgeline and follow the beautiful Harpan Khola valley to the vantage point atop Panchase Lekh. Our trail loops back down the picturesque valley to the shores of the lake. This long-forgotten, now seldom-trekked area is inhabited by Brahmins, Chhettris, and Gurungs, their pleasant settlements interspersed among the terraced hillsides and forested slopes.

The Seti is an excellent introduction to rafting in Nepal. Its warm blue waters flow through scenic gorges and cultivated valleys, punctuated with exciting rapids. You take-out from the river near Chitwan, and spend the next two days exploring the jungles on elephant-back, on canoes, and on foot, escorted by resident naturalists.

Camping in the Himalayan foothills is an incredible experience.
