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 who have perfected the brewing of their local
drink, Tungba, to a fine art...
Safari Option: For those who don't cherish the
thought of returning directly to Kathmandu, consider
visiting the Royal Chitwan National Park. While at Chitwan
we will enjoy a variety of activities ranging from elephant
safaris, canoeing amongst marsh mugger crocodiles, jungle
walks and bird watching. We stay at the premium Temple Tiger
Lodge and Tented Camp, which has the best location in the
park.
