Rafting in Tamur River involves the combination of trekking and rafting providing a chance to experience the best of both words. The put in point of this rafting trip is Basantapur (18 hours’ drive from Kathmandu) whereas the take out point is Chatara, from where it takes 17 hours to reach Kathmandu.

From the starting point of the trek to the take out point of the rafting, the alluring sceneries witnessed are something that cannot be easily forgotten. And since the area is less populated, the rafting route offers a view of the untouched country side of Nepal while hitting 130 rapids altogether. Camping and relaxing on sandy beaches at the end of each day add a little extra fun and excitement to the adrenaline charging expedition.
