An EXPEDITION for the intermediate Kayaker or Rafter from the slopes of Kanchenjunga

The Tamur combines world class Whitewater with a breath taking trek which offers excellent views of Kanchenjunga und Makalu . Classic big volume water from the beginning and some 120 rapids on 130 km, this river is not going to get boring. The river winds itself through a remote valley and the last stretch offers a great finale before it joins the Sun Koshi.
Great Whitewater with a perfect link to some trekking to get most of Nepal on one trip.

Challenge yourself on some of the most formidable rivers Nepal offers.
