Nepal - Tamur

Nepal as a holiday destination is plain fantastic. A kingdom steeped in history and dominated by the majestic Himalayas, it enthralls all who enter. One of the best ways to explore and discover this remarkable land is to get away from the towns and roads and embark on a trekking and rafting adventure - the snows of Kachengunga feed this less known, but very spectacular tributary of the Sun Kosi, the Tamur River which offers amazing mountain views with an exhilarating river journey! The trek is one of the most spectacular in Nepal, with outstanding views of Kachengunga, Makalu and Everest. An amazing team of 70 porters who help carry all the gear into the river is truly a sight to behold. This is a river journey with it all!

Trip Itinerary

Day 1:
Arrive Kathmandu, and time to explore this great city! Not included: Breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Day 2:
Sample the best breakfast in town at Mike's Breakfast. Then a short scenic flight from Kathmandu to Biratnagar. After a filling lunch, drive to the bustling market town of Hile and relax there for the night. Included: Lunch and dinner.

Day 3:
Awake to the typical street sounds of a Nepalese market town and enjoy breakfast and then drive to Basantapur. Watch in awe as Nepalese porters clad in flip flops carry 80kg rafts as you begin a spectacular journey to the river through Rhododendron Forests. Included: All meals.

Days 4-6:
After a hearty breakfast each morning, the trek takes you over a 10,000-foot pass above the sacred lake at Gopa Pokhara rewarding you with stunning views of Kachengunga, Makalu and the majestic Mount Everest. Descend through terraced rice paddies and mountain villages that lead to the river. Included: All meals.

Day 7:
After a comprehensive safety talk, put on the river and take on some of the most challenging whitewater in Nepal. This river is a whitewater delight with one rapid leading into the next. At camp that evening, enjoy chilling out with your sundowners, as stories are told (and exaggerated) of the day's rafting. Included: All meals.

Day 8:
Steep canyon walls enclose the river and the rapids are powerful and continuous, many of which are unnamed, perhaps your chance for some fame. As the river opens up, pass by small fishing villages and watch wild monkeys on the river banks. Overnight camp on a beautiful white sandy beach. Included: All meals.

Day 9:
Layover day, and a chance to do exactly what you want. Whether you choose to relax and read or join in on a spot of volleyball or swim, the choice is yours. And what a spectacular setting for it. Included: All meals.

Day 10:
A relaxing day punctuated by some fun whitewater. Included: All meals.

Day 11:
Some phenomenal whitewater action today as towering waves leap skyward, with seemingly endless rapids surging through steep canyon walls, to finally cascade into the Sun Kosi. Included: All meals.

Day 12:
An early rise today with a floating breakfast as you watch the sun rise over the hills. Leave the river at Chatara and fly back to Kathmandu. Included: Breakfast and lunch.

Day 13:
Enjoy an amazing array of wildlife sightings on jungle walks and elephant safaris. Included: All meals.

Day 14:
Water by Nature transfers you to Bharatpur Airport for your flight back to Kathmandu and a chance to spend time doing some well deserved retail therapy. Included: Breakfast and lunch.

After a leisurely breakfast, Water by Nature will transfer you to the airport for you return flight home. Included: No meals.
