| DAY
1: We have an early breakfast and fly
to Biratnagar that morning. We meet a private
bus, which will take us on a five-hour journey
to Basantapur, which is the real starting point
for the expedition.
DAY
2-5: We start our four day trek into
the heart of eastern Nepal. It does not take long
to leave all the noise and hassle of town life
behind. We will stop for lunch, relax, and enjoy
the views and culture of local village life. You
will only be carrying a water bottle and camera
on you as our team of porters carries the main
loads (including kayaks and rafts!) We make camp.
DAY
6: The white water action begins. Your
expedition leader and your raft guide will give
you a detailed safety briefing. Then for the rest
of the day (apart from the lunch break of course)
you are in a turquoise blue class IV white water
paradise. Camp.
DAY
7: This is class ii - IV the whole day
passing through villages and spotting wildlife
particular to this area.
DAY
8: Time to have a break. We have given
you a rest day to enjoy the beach life, or go
for a day trek to the local villages who are always
so welcoming and inspiring with their unending
supply of enthusiasm and smiles.
DAY 9: The action continues as
you tackle more class ii-iv rapids all the way.
DAY
10: Relax and enjoy a mellow day on the
river as you float through the day with the occasional
"all forward call" to bring you back
into action. You need to relax so you are ready
for tomorrow!
DAY
11: There could not be a better way to
end an expedition like this other than on continuous
class IV for half a day. Perfect action on a perfect
river. We end the journey in Chaatra. Those who
choose to fly will be taken by taxi to Biratnagar
airport to catch their flight (1-hour). |
No
expedition to Nepal would be complete without a trek
in the Himalayas and its no accident the one of the
world's finest rivers starts with one of Nepal's most
scenic treks. Our 4-day trekking route follows a 3000-meter
ridge through beautiful woods and meadows with magnificent
views of Kanchenjunga, Makalu and the Everest mastiff,
before dropping into the lush villages of the Tamur
valley. A truly memorable approach to this classic white
water descent. The Tamur and its tributaries drain the
snows of Kachenjunga, third highest peak in the world.
Constrained by steep valley walls, it becomes Nepal's
sixth largest river and one of the most remote white
water river trips of its length. 120 km of breath taking
river takes us on a journey through the heart of eastern
Nepal. The Tamur is a challenging expedition; however,
our guides have the skill and experience to bring this
expedition within the capability of anyone with a good
and positive attitude. With over 100 class 3 - 4 rapids,
the Tamur offers a unique six days of white water taken
at a leisurely pace with plenty of time to venture up
hidden side valleys and explore remote villages.
