Newly opened and seldom run. This river combines one of the best short
treks in Nepal with some really challenging white water action. Nepal\'s
wild and east bend river the snows of Kanchenjunga feed a challenging
less known relative of the Sun Kosi. The Tamur combines one of the best
short Himalayan treks offering amazing mountain views, with an
exhilarating new river expedition. Picking up our team of sprightly
porters at Basantapur we trek through ancient moss-covered rhododendron
forests and sunlit meadows. As we crest the 10,000-foot pass above the
sacred lake at Gupha Pokhara, we are greeted by stunning views of the
Kanchenjunga massif, Makalu and Everest.
At Dobhan three
tributaries of the Tamur join their forces, combining the racing rivers
of the high mountains to the north. Steep canyon walls enclose the
river and the rapids are powerful and continuous. In the middle section
the river opens up and there are beautiful white sandy beaches. The
last few days, where the river turns back to the west, are phenomenal.
Towering waves leap skyward, with seemingly endless rapids surging
through steep canyon walls. Small fishermen\'s villages line the
confluence of every major tributary, while wild monkeys watch from the
jungle as we drift past. Local people are a fascinating collage of
tribes and castes that have perfected the brewing of their local drinks
Tungba to a fine art.
