Tamur
- The Jewels of Eastern Nepal
Rapids still to be named...
The first commercial run of the
Tamur was in 1990 and there have been very few
descents since then. In November of 1991 we
ran an expedition down this river and proved
to ourselves that all we had heard about it
being an "exceptional trip" was right.
The trip combines one of the best short Himalayan
treks with a challenging and exhilarating river
journey. Tamur drains the snows of the mighty
Kanchanjunga massif, the third highest peak
in the world and flows through a truly beautiful
and unspoiled gorge. The superb sandy beaches,
few villages and limited agriculture along the
river provide Tamur with the most pristine Rafting
environment in Nepal.
Although the Tamur is still relatively
Un-traveled, it probably has created more whitewater
interest than any other commercial Rafting rivers
in Nepal. With three days of trekking through
the foothills of the Himalayas followed by 120
km of exceptional whitewater thrill, Tamur is
a highly recommended, active and exhilarating
wilderness journey.
