Coruh River

The Coruh River in north-east Turkey is recognized as one of the top ten white water rivers in the world, with its high volume rapids (up to grade 5 in May and June) fed by the snow-melt from the eastern Black Sea mountains in the north-east of Turkey. It flows through spectacular canyons and narrow fertile valleys or orchards and tiny paddy fields, past ancient ruined castles all set against a backdrop of magnificent rugged mountains and traditional village life virtually untouched by tourism.

We have been running regular expeditions on the Coruh since 1992, and we are still the only Turkish company to offer regular trips on this river. 

We run 4-day and 5-day camping expeditions during May and June.  We also offer 7-day expeditions including trekking, for private groups.
