Trip Facts

Trip Overview

The Arun, one of the rivers draining the Tibetan Plateau, is one of the most powerful and appreciated rivers in all of Nepal. This river trip is perfect for the rafter that wishes to experience a trip similar to the Sun Kosi or Karnali but does not have the time in their schedule to fit in a nine day rafting adventure. Leaving from Kathmandu a 45 minute flight will put us in Tumlingtar. From here we have about a three hour trek until we reach the river. Once we launch into this mighty river we will float through remote forested gorges; with ample opportunities to view wildlife. Of course it will not be all lounging around and looking at wildlife as we will negotiate many big water class 3 and 4 rapids throughout our rafting days. This is one of the more remote rivers of Eastern Nepal and as such still has pristine sand beaches and unspoiled local villages; but has the advantage of easier access than many of the rivers of Western Nepal. On our fourth or fifth day of rafting the Arun will join with the Tamur and the Sun Kosi to become the Sapta Kosi. Here we will be floating one of the most powerful rivers in the world as we work our way down to Chatra; our take-out.
