Tamor River
Rafting in Nepal
A magnificent white water trip, one of
the best in the world, approximately 130
rapids in 120 km The river flows through
a beautiful and unspoiled valley and the
trek to the start is one of the most
scenic in Nepal.
The Tamur and its tributaries drain the
snows of Kangchengdzonga, third highest
peak in the world. The river is the
sixth largest river in Nepal and seems
to have a feeling of thrusting power.
Whilst it is possible to fly into
Taplejung, we especially recommend the
trek, a great way to start your river
trip. The trek is not to arduous as it
goes along the top of the ridge and then
drops down to the river.
We should recommend this particularly as
an exciting paddle trip for fit and
active rafters looking for the second
time trip.
