Rafting Tamur River

Rafting Tamur River

Rafting Tamur River with its magnificent white water and beautiful unspoiled valley, together with one of the most scenic treks in Nepal, the Tamur provides one of the best blends of rafting and trekking in the country. The Tamur and its tributaries drain the snows of Kanchenjunga, the third highest peak in the world. The valley itself is beautiful and unspoiled with relatively few villages and little agriculture. Its slopes are well wooded, there are good beaches for camping and plentiful wildlife to be seen.

Rafting Tamur River
Drifting between full-on rapids and languid scenic patches, this river is a gem in terms of the number of rapids, the amazing scenery, and its wildlife.

Kayaking:

A perfect river for the expert kayaker looking for rapids, rapids and yet more rapids. It is best done in November or April, since there will be more time to catch one’s breath in between the action.
