Probably the best
combination trip in Nepal-magnificent white water, a beautiful
unspoiled valley, combined with one of the most scenic treks
in Nepal. The Tamur and its tributaries drain the snows of
Kanchenjunga third highest peak in the world. The river is the
sixth largest river in Nepal and seems to have a feeling of
thrusting power and of being constrained by its valley sides.
The first commercial run of the Tamur was in 1990 and there
have been very few descents since then.
It is an outstandingly beautiful river with superb views of
the Himalayan range including Mt. Everest, Mt. Kanchenjunga
and Mt. Makalu. The river trip includes around 120 km descent
through more than 100 of the most exciting rapids still to be
named has to offer grade 3 to 4, with some graded -5, making
one of the best white water expedition trips in the world.
The trip starts with an internal flight or drive from
Kathmandu to Biratnagar in the far South-East of Nepal. We
take a private bus drive to Basantapur in the Tehrathum
Region, where we camp overnight. The following day, we begin
an awe-inspiringly beautiful 5-day trek to Dobhan through the
remote Taplejung region of Eastern Nepal. From Dobhan we begin
the exhilarating trip, which includes a day relaxing on a
remote river beach or an optional one-day trek visiting local
villages. The Tamur is best tackled between October and
November, and February and May.
Finally, there's an overnight drive by private bus or an
optional internal fly back to Kathmandu |

Nepal and will stop for lunch and relax and enjoy the
views and culture of local village life. Trek up over
the Milke Danda via Gupha Pokhari to Dovan from where we
will start our rafting trip. This route has spectacular
mountain views of Mount Everest, Makalu and Kanchenjunga.
Porters will be carrying the main loads (including
kayaks and rafts!) We make camp.
Day 6 :
The white water action begins from Dovan
Your expedition leader and your raft guide will give you
a detailed safety briefing. Then for the rest of the day
(apart from the lunch break of course) you are in a
turquoise blue class 4 white water paradises Camp
Day 7 : This is the type of day that people
imagine when they think of Himalayan water. It is big
and continuous. We enter into the Jungle Corridor. This
is a narrowing jungle clad gorge and it is all ours. The
team building is put into full practice and when your
guide shouts "all forward " he really means it. Enjoy
the ride all day and camp in this sensational setting at
God-house.
Day 5 :
More of the same including the notorious GOD'S house
rapid. Camp at the Seti Dovan and relax.
Day 6 : It isn't over yet! Keep paddling hard!
You really are experiencing the best of the west on yet
another day of great action and breath taking scenery
and camping at Jamuna village

water rafting. This is grade 2 - 4 the whole day passing
through villages and spotting wildlife particular to
this area.
Day 8 : Places are not mention because of this is
one of the remote areas for the White water rafting.
Time to have a break. We have given you a rest day to

their unending supply of enthusiasm and smiles.

Day 7 : Rai Ghat to Bander Ghat rafting approx. 6
hours. Hold tight, the ride is not over yet…as past the
point of Sap Su Khola is a rapid with the greatest drop
Huge ‘holes’, ‘eddies’ and churning ‘stopper waves’
demands team work and hard paddle.
Day 8 : Bander Ghat to Bonjur Ghat rafting aprox.
6 hours. We take to the rapids again, busy all morning
earnestly thanking for the lunch break, emerging from
the Mardheku gorge the river spreads wide, less agitated
after its confinement between steep cliffs and gorges.
Day 9 : Bonjur Ghat to Barahchhatra rafting aprox.
6 hours. Today the whole stretch is a mixture of fun
filled rapids and calm undulating floats, you are
somewhat relived, yet sad that the trip is coming to an
end, all good things ultimately does…
Day 10 : Starting and ending point for the day is
not mention because of this is one of the
remote area for the white water rafting. Relax and enjoy
a mellow day on the river as you float through the day
with the occasional "all forward call" to bring you back
into action. You need to relax so you are ready for
tomorrow!
Day 11 : Final day, raft take out in Chatara and
transfer to Biratnagar for flight to Kathmandu or go for
the safari trip either in Koshi Tappu or in Chitwan
National park or drive back to Kathmandu. There could
not be a better way to end an expedition like this other
than on continuous class 4 for half a day. Perfect
action on a perfect river. We end the journey in Chatara. |
