The Arun River demarcates the ancient boundary of Khambuwan and Limbuwan regions. The river is also important in the folklore of Kiranti people of eastern Nepal.

In Nepal, the Kosi lies to the south of Kanchenjunga and has seven major tributaries: Sun Kosi, Tama Kosi, Dudh Kosi, Indravati, Likhu, Arun and Tamore. It has an average waterflow of 2564 cubic metres per second.Fact|date=July 2007
