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.

" – ‘In a word, excellent. The culture,
scenery, history, river outfitting and companions were first class. The
highlights were the forts on the hills, the excellent Turkish cuisine in
camp and the international team. Thanks to Alternatif and Vedat for a great
trip.'
