The Seti River is an important tributary of the Karnali river system that drains western Nepal.[1]

Course

The Seti originates from the snow fields and glaciers around the twin peaks of Api and Nampa in the south-facing slopes of the main Himalayas. The area is near the trijunction of the borders of Nepal, India (Kumaon, Uttarakhand), and China (Tibet). The river first flows in a south-easterly direction, then turns and flows in a south-westerly and finally south-easterly again before joining the Karnali or Ghaghara River. It has cut a spectacular gorge across the Mahabharat Range and appears to be lost amongst caves and tunnels for a short distance.[1]
