No
expedition to Nepal would be complete without a trek in the
Himalayas and its no accident the one of the world's finest
rivers starts with one of Nepal 's most scenic treks. Our
4-day trekking route follows a 3000-meter ridge through beautiful
woods and meadows with magnificent views of Kanchenjunga ,
Makalu and the Everest mastiff, before dropping into the lush
villages of the Tamur valley. A truly memorable approach to
this classic white water descent. The Tamur and its tributaries
drain the snows of Kachenjunga, third highest peak in the
world. Constrained by steep valley walls, it becomes Nepal
's sixth largest river and one of the most remote white water
river trips of its length. 120 km of breath taking river takes
us on a journey through the heart of eastern Nepal . The Tamur
is a challenging expedition; however, our guides have the
skill and experience to bring this expedition within the capability
of anyone with a good and positive attitude. With over 100
class 3 - 4 rapids, the Tamur offers a unique six days of
white water taken at a leisurely pace with plenty of time
to venture up hidden side valleys and explore remote villages.
Day
to Day Itinerary
Day 01
We have an early breakfast and fly to Biratnagar that
morning. We meet a private bus, which will take us on
a five-hour journey to Basantapur, which is the real
starting point for the expedition.
Day 02-05
We
start our four day trek into the heart of eastern Nepal
. It does not take long to leave all the noise and hassle
of town life behind. We will stop for lunch, relax,
and enjoy the views and culture of local village life.
You will only be carrying a water bottle and camera
on you as our team of porters carries the main loads
(including kayaks and rafts!) We make camp.
Day 06
The
white water action begins. Your expedition leader and
your raft guide will give you a detailed safety briefing.
Then for the rest of the day (apart from the lunch break
of course) you are in a turquoise blue class IV white
water paradise. Camp.
Day 07
This
is class ii - IV the whole day passing through villages
and spotting wildlife particular to this area.
Day 08
Time to have a break. We have given you a rest day
to enjoy the beach life, or go for a day trek to the
local villages who are always so welcoming and inspiring
with their unending supply of enthusiasm and smiles.
Day 09
The action continues
as you tackle more class ii-iv rapids all the way.
Day 10
Relax
and enjoy a mellow day on the river as you float through
the day with the occasional "all forward call"
to bring you back into action. You need to relax so
you are ready for tomorrow!
Day 11
There
could not be a better way to end an expedition like
this other than on continuous class IV for half a day.
Perfect action on a perfect river. We end the journey
in Chaatra. Those who choose to fly will be taken by
taxi to Biratnagar airport to catch their flight (1-hour).
