|
| General information |
| 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. |
