Adventure you should try in Nepal
Nepal is a best destination for almost all kinds of outdoor
adventure activities like adventure trekking, rock climbing, peak climbing and
mountaineering, bungee jumping, rafting, cannoning, jungle safari and much more
which are more popular among adventure lovers. Trekking has been the unique
product of Nepal since a long and is still preferred by adventure seekers
coming from different parts of the world. The geographical and natural
diversity and a wide range of exotic culture make Nepal an ideal place for
trekking and exploration. Trekking in the Himalayas of Nepal is one’s life time
opportunity to observe its culture facets and enjoy the beauty of nature.
- Trekking
Trekking is an outdoor recreational
activity of hiking or walking for more than a day. It can be a short or an
extended journey, and may or may not involve camping outdoors. Nepal has been
attracting travelers from all around the world with its great beauty. Nepal has
some of the best trekking destinations in the world. Many travelers visit the
country for the purpose of trekking so the tourism industry is well prepared to
facilitate all kinds of service of trekking and destinations to the tourist.
- Rafting
White water rafting on the rivers flowing
from high Himalayas and crossing the typical section of Nepal’s geography is
equally popular. You can coast on clam jade waters with splendid view all around
or rush through roaring rapids. Rafting is inarguably the best way of exploring
Nepal, as it takes you through hamlets, canyons, dense forests and wildlife.
- Mountain biking
Many trekking trails, both short and long,
are also suitable for mountain biking. Be prepared to carry your bike at
certain points, such as over icy patches or up steps. For shorter biking
adventures, there are numerous trails around the outside of the Kathmandu
Valley or the circuit around Phewa Tal in Pokhara.
- Paragliding
Paragliding is popular adventures outdoor
sports activity around the world. Paragliding in Nepal is more than sports. It
is a good opportunity to experience the beautiful mountain sceneries, aerial
view of the Himalayas, cities, valleys, lakes and much more.
Basically Pokhara and its surrounding have
been attracting thousands of visitors for paragliding every year. Due to its
natural beauty and closeness to the mountain environment, there are various
deals for the paragliding veterans and novice.
- Bungee jumping
There are only a couple of
places where you can go bungee jumping in Nepal and like almost everywhere else
in the country, the views are incredible. At The Last Resort, you can fall 160
metres from a suspension bridge into the tropical Bhote Kosi River gorge. The
bungee near Pokhara is not so high, at 70 metres.
- Rock climbing
Rather than going full-on
mountain climbing, shorter rock-climbing excursions can also be enjoyed. In
Kathmandu, there is the Astrek Climbing Wall in Thamel, an artificial wall to
practice climbing skills. There are other natural climbing spots around
Kathmandu, such as at Pharping and Nagarjuna, which are frequented by
city-based climbers. Then, of course, there are the endless unknown spots
throughout the mountains, but proper gear and experience are required before
setting off solo.
- Cannoning
If lowering you backwards off a
waterfall and sliding down natural water slides sounds like fun, then Nepal is
a good place to be. Season dependent (with the strongest flow immediately after
the monsoon and the lowest immediately before), guided canyoning trips can be
arranged around Jalberi, about half-way between Kathmandu and Pokhara and on
the Bhote Kosi River, northeast of Kathmandu.
