THE JEWEL OF EAST
The Tamur River, a powerful tributary of the Sapta Koshi system, offers one of Nepal’s most complete and thrilling whitewater expeditions. Born from the glaciers of Mount Kanchenjunga, the world’s third highest peak, this journey often begins with an inspiring trek, leading to a 130-kilometer descent through a remote and breathtaking landscape. Paddlers are treated to continuous, dynamic rapids set against a stunning backdrop of deep gorges, terraced hillsides, and lush valleys, with the snow-capped Himalayas never far from view.
Renowned for its consistent and challenging whitewater, the Tamur features a thrilling succession of over 100 rapids, including memorable drops like “The Washing Machine” and “Cascading Crystal.” The river’s relentless flow and technical nature provide an adrenaline-fueled adventure for experienced rafters and kayakers. Yet, the experience extends beyond the rapids. Evenings are spent camping on serene beaches, immersed in the peaceful rhythm of the Himalayas. This combination of world-class whitewater, unparalleled scenery, and a profound sense of remoteness solidifies the Tamur River expedition as a true adventure of a lifetime.
