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 rapids still 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. |

Safety |
• Safety is the most important
part of any river trip. Choosing
a professional veteran rafting
company is the first step. So it
helps to abide by the following
tips:
• Pick your river with care.
Seek information from a rafting
agency, local experts, and
literature on river levels and
difficulty.
• There should be a minimum of
two rafts per trip, so that one
can help when a fall happens
from the other.
• Carry first-aid kit, survival
and rescue gear.
• Check to see that end loops
and the leash are adequate
before you push off. This makes
it easier to keep hold of your
boat when swimming big rapids,
and also in the event of rescue.
• Be a team person, paddle
synchronously.
• For boats, paddles and
helmets, loud colors are
recommended.
• Wear life jackets and helmets,
properly too.
• Keep your feet and arms inside
the raft at all time.
• When you fall off into a
rapid, float on your back, with
your feet downstream. |
