Arun River The easiest way to get to this river
is catching a plane to put in point at Tumlingtar. Alternatively
one can drive for 1 days and then trek for three days. The Arun
is one of the more advanced rivers in Nepal, and although only
three days on the river the scenic mountain views and the unique
wildlife makes it all worth while.
Itinerary
DAY 01:
Kathmandu – Tumlingtar an hour's flight from Kathmandu to Tumlingtar
takes you away from the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu. The
Tumlingtar flight if scheduled in the afternoon, the camp shall
be put up in Tumlingtar itself. The afternoon could be spent
in visiting this tiny village with its small teashops and airstrip.
Briefing for the next day's trip in the evening.
DAY 02:
Savaiya Khola Breakfast will normally be served at 8: 30 AM.
Trek for about two hours at a gradual pace until Sabiya Khola.
Briefing for the next day's schedule. Get the equipments ready
to start early for the following day.
DAY 03:
Megan Besi As soon as we get on the river. From Tumlingtar,
we get started at 9:30 AM after breakfast. Today is pretty smooth
except for little rough ones of grade III/IV.
DAY 04:
Today could be more challenging than the previous days. We come
across quite a number of rapids one after another. The first
encounter is a left- bend rapid, before the suspension bridge
at Ranighat. A number of rapids follow after this, one after
another we finally camp nearby blithe rapid.
DAY 05:
Today is pretty smooth and relaxed compared to the previous
days. The Arun River now merges with river Sunkosi to form in
to a confluence of river Saptakosi, one of the major rivers
of Nepal, which further flows to merge with the famous Gange
in India. Float along Saptakosi for another half an hour and
we reach the site of a temple in Bara Chettra a Hindu temple
dedicated to lord Vishnu. From here, float for another half
an hour to Chattra. Drive back.
