Tamur River Rafting

Nestled in the eastern part of Nepal, the Tamur River is a white-water wonderland that offers an incredible rafting experience for adventure seekers. With its pristine water, picturesque landscapes, and thrilling rapids, Tamur River rafting is a popular activity that promises to leave you with unforgettable memories.

The journey starts with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Biratnagar, followed by a drive through the picturesque hills and valleys of the eastern region of Nepal. The route is dotted with small villages, terraced fields, and lush forests, making the drive an experience in itself. The final destination is the put-in point at Dobhan, which marks the start of the Tamur River rafting adventure.

The river begins with gentle rapids, giving you a chance to get used to the raft and the team before you face the more challenging sections. As you paddle through the river, you will pass through several small villages and lush forests, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of the locals. The journey also takes you through the Tamur River Gorge, a spectacular section of the river that features towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and steep gorges.

One of the most exciting parts of the Tamur River rafting journey is tackling the rapids. The river is known for its grade 4 and 5 rapids, which require skilled paddling and teamwork. The rapids are named after local legends, such as Jaws, Rhino Rock, and Harkapur. Each rapid offers a unique challenge and an adrenaline rush that is hard to match.

The journey is not all about rafting, though. You will have the opportunity to camp on the riverbanks, under the stars, and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding nature. The meals are prepared fresh each day by the rafting team, using locally sourced ingredients. You will also have a chance to explore the nearby villages and interact with the locals, who are known for their warm hospitality.

In conclusion, Tamur River rafting is an adventure that should not be missed. It is an opportunity to experience the beauty of Nepal, both in terms of its natural wonders and its cultural richness. The journey is suitable for both experienced rafters and beginners, as long as you are up for a challenge and are willing to work as a team. So, pack your bags, grab your paddles, and get ready for an adventure of a lifetime
