Description about Tamor:
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 rapidsstill
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.
