The Tamur River originated from the famous third

is most powerful and exciting sixth largest
river in Nepal. The sceneries witnessed during
the trek way to the Milke Danda- Gupha Pokhari
in eastern part of Nepal on the way of rafting
put-in point is awe inspiring as the river
itself. The sides of the valleys are settled
with few villages and very few agriculture
activities can be seen throughout the entire
trip. There huge range of biodiversity formed
abundant flora and fauna, clean beaches for
camping along the rafting.
The river flows down through massive gorges
towards south-west direction and it cut its way
through the 2000-meter high Mahavarat Range of
mid-hill near by Tribeni- Baraha kshetra then
leaves it when it spreads out over the great
plain of the Ganges of Indian plate.
The different whitewater adventure seekers can
