Nepal's outdoor adventure credentials are built on geography that most countries cannot match. The world's deepest river gorge (Kali Gandaki, between Dhaulagiri and Annapurna) and the world's highest mountain provide the bookends of an adventure landscape that no single country rivals. Bungee jumping at The Last Resort drops you 160 meters over the Bhote Koshi gorge - one of the highest bungee jumps in Asia. The canyon swing at the same site arcs 120 meters through the gorge in what is claimed to be the world's longest. White water rafting on the Bhote Koshi runs Grade IV-V rapids through dramatic Himalayan canyon country 3 hours from Kathmandu. Paragliding from Sarangkot above Pokhara is one of Asia's finest flying experiences, with the Annapurna range directly above. Mountain biking on the descent from Nagarkot through Newari villages to Bhaktapur covers 2-3 hours of mostly downhill forest and village riding. All of these activities are within a day's reach of Kathmandu.
For trekkers, the Annapurna region (the world's most visited trekking destination), the Everest region (Khumbu, home of the Everest Base Camp Trek) and the Langtang region (closest major Himalayan trekking area to Kathmandu) are all covered in our outdoor tour programs. Trekking combines naturally with the adventure activities above: the 15-day Nepal Outdoor Activity Tour links Kathmandu cultural heritage, The Last Resort bungee and canyon swing, Annapurna trekking and Kathmandu Valley mountain biking in a single multi-activity circuit. See our things to do in Nepal guide for the full activity list, and browse the four packages below.
