Arun River Rafting Overview
The Arun River is one of the mighty rivers in Nepal that rises from the Tibetan region. It is one of the major tributaries of the Saptakoshi River that flows into Eastern Nepal. Along the river trail, you'll find breathtaking views of Mt. Everest, Kanchenjunga, and Makalu, as well as remote settlements, valleys, and cozy beaches.
The 70 km long river offers turbulent water current and huge water volume, making it one of the best Rafting sites in Nepal. This river rages with some class 3 and class 4 rapids. It can be technically challenging because of its rapid flow, making it appropriate for intermediate and advanced-level rafting and kayaking. The Arun River Rafting journey leads us to an isolated landmark where we will experience the roughest and fastest river current moving downstream, cutting through high Himalayan peaks and deep gorges. The months of October to December, as well as March to May, are ideal seasons for going rafting in the Arun River.
The Arun River Rafting is an excellent alternative for a long journey for those looking for real adrenaline rushes and the thrill of encountering massive rapids in beautiful surroundings. Please contact Mountain Delight Treks and Expedition for booking and more information.

We used Mountain Delight Treks to trek Everest Base Camp
Furthermore, the company’s owner, Ram, is overseeing everything and following all treks on a daily basis. It is clear that Ram and Mountain Delight Treks are doing their outmost to give their clients the best possible experience.
It is also important to mention our guide Tilak. He really did his outmost to make the trek as great an experience as possible. He was up early, worked late and was constantly explaining what we saw and passed on our way. It was also his initiative to change the route back due to a heavy snowfall. We could not continue along the planed route. Instead he arranged visits to several small villages “off route”. This was in itself a very interesting part of the journey. We met so many kind local people and got some very unique experience.

Trekking in Langtang Valley
Would highly recommend Mountain Delights. We had an amazing time trekking in the Langtang Valley. Our guide, Dipak Nepal, did a fantastic job and made everything run smoothly throughout the trek. We didn’t have to worry about anything. Our two porters were also incredible. We would love to go trekking with Mountain Delights again in the future!

Poon Hill and ABC trek
Right from the start, Ram was super helpful in the office, giving us clear info and a lot of time to help figure out what trek suited us best. Our guide, Geli Sherpa, was a great guy, very professional but also shared so much about his culture and even joined in on our card games in the evening. Our porter, Peam Sherpa, did an amazing job and we were so glad to have him with us.
The best part was Geli’s expertise. He noticed the weather was shifting and suggested we reach base camp a day early. That easy change gave us "crazy good" weather and an amazing sunrise and sunset. Even when our flight to Pokhara was 3 hours late due to weather, they handled everything so smoothly that we never felt stressed.
The whole trip felt very personal and safe. I’m already looking forward to my next adventure with them!
