Rafting on Tamur

Home » Nepal » Rafting on Tamur

Thanks to the new road this jewel of eastern Nepal has recently became quite easy to access. Tamur river drains water from the area of Mount Kanchenjunga, the third highest peak in the world. In seven river days we'll paddle over 120 rapids which takes more than 130 river kms. Breathtaking views of eastern Himalayan range will be a very welcome company. Once you're already in Nepal join us for trekking in either Manaslu, Everest, Gosaikund region (more information on request).

The expedition will be led by our experienced rafting guides who take Nepali rivers as their second home. Besides rafts the kayaks will be available on the trip for safety on the river and more fun in the rapids. Each boat will be fully equiped with whitewater gear including dry bags. Due to warm weather and water in this time of the year neoprene suits are only provided on request.
