Tamur River Adventure

Trip Overview of Tamur River Adventure

Tamur River Adventure, the watershed for the River Tamur extends from the slopes of the mountains of the Umbhak Himal on the border with Tibet, across to the slopes of Kanchanjunga (the world’s third highest peak). It is an outstandingly beautiful river with superb views of the Himalaya mountain range, including Mt. Everest, Mt. Kanchanjunga and Mt. Makalu. The river trip includes around 120 km of continuous 125 rapids, grade 3 to 4, with some graded -5 , making one of the best white water expedition trips in the world.

The trip is organized by Adventure Silk Road Treks & Expedition Inc and starts with an internal flight or drive from Kathmandu to Biratnagar in the far South-East of Nepal. From there, we take a private bus to 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 5 day rafting and kayaking trip, which includes a day relaxing on a remote river beach or an optional one day trek visiting local villages. Finally, there’s an overnight drive by private bus back to Kathmandu or an optional internal flight to Kathmandu.
