Rafting on Tumcha river, 8 days

Tumcha river runs on the south of Murmansk province, behind a Polar Circle. Many rapids make this river specially attractive. Rapids are sometimes formed by narrow rocky ledges, too narrow for raft sometimes. Therefore, for this river we use catamarans. All the rapids are localized, therefore.
