Arun River rating is popular river rafting in Nepal. Arun rafting offer beautiful Arun valley, lush valley & Himalayan scenery. It is one of the most powerful and respected rivers in Nepal, cutting through the Himalaya with deep and awesome gorges, lush valleys and superb riverside beaches. It needs minimum 5-6 days but we arrange according to travelers wish and holiday schedule. Arun River rapids can be challenging and technically complex than other rivers of Nepal. During the Arun River rafting , Himalaya Journey trekking provide full board basis trip including accommodation, meals and all rafting gears with professional rafting guide.

The Arun River is the biggest tributary of the Sapta Koshi River system. Originated in the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) of China, the river enters Nepal by cutting mountains nearMt. Everest and Mt. Makalu and passes through Tumlingtar. Kartikeghat, which is close to Tumlingtar, is the place from where rafting trip in the Arun River normally begins. Tumlingtar connects to Kathmandu and Biratnagar by air. We can also get to this place by trekking from Hile in Dhankuta district. This route is relatively much longer, as it takes for us about one and a half days’ bus drive to reach Hile from Kathmandu. The Arun River offers the best whitewater rafting trip due to her great rapids and remote location. Moreover, the lovers of rafting can also familiarize with a variety of ethnic communities.
