Rafting at Arun River
Arun River is one of the most powerful whitewater current and fast river in Nepal. Cutting through the High Himalaya with deep and awesome gorges, green valleys and excellent riverside beaches.
Arun River flows from the melting of Mt. Makalu (8462m) and other mountains of that region uniting with thousands of small spring and streams along the thick woods of the famous Arun valley before winding its way down through the hinterlands of eastern Nepal.
Arun River Rafting is undoubtedly the most exciting white-water river rafting in Nepal. Starting with 4 days trek followed by 3 days of rafting. The powerful current and large water volume make sure huge and remarkable rapids are encountered through length of this river journey. The rapids can be technically and challenging.
Arun River is an excellent choice for a long whitewater rafting trip for those who are seeking a true adventure and the thrill of encountering huge rapids in a peaceful setting. It is the first choice for those wanting a whitewater expedition into the wilderness area.
