Kayak Clinics ~ Seti (4days)

” Learn to Kayak with the Professionals “, we run a series of Kayak Clinics each season. These introductory courses are designed for those with little or no previous kayaking experience.  The thrill and gratification of learning to kayak in the Himalayas 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.

There is a pre-departure briefing in our Pokhara office the evening before the expedition at 6 PM.  This is a chance to get the group together and discuss the clinic.  At the meeting you have a chance to meet the instructors and support group, and we can answer any final queries, give out personal gear bags and collect money for the beer kitty.  Afterwards we will probably head to one of our local favorites for a relaxed meal.
