oldest cities, including Bhaktapur, Nala and Dhulikhel. Ride the
Arniko Highway which runs alongside the Bhote Kosi river, and even
visit the Tibetan frontier were Nepal meets Tibet at the Friendship
bridge just 18kms beyond The Borderland.
The trail twists
and turns, giving you gorgeous views of the countryside. After making
your final descent from Kathmandu valley into The Borderland river
resort, enjoy your first beer on us. Prepare yourself for the exciting
days ahead, when you will be rafting, trekking and
canyoning.
 The
Borderland Adventure Centre is pleased to be the first organization
in Nepal to introduce canyoning. Canyoning is a new adventure
sport geared to the ultimate sports-enthusiast. It is an activity
that involves abseiling, sliding, jumping, swimming, and climbing
down waterfalls through steep canyon walls to deep pools. This unique
combination of skills gives the intrepid canyoneer the freedom to
explore some of the most ruggedly beautiful, yet forbidden places
in the world.
From sheer cliffs
and slides to pounding waterfalls, you will experience all the joys
of canyoning. Apart from all the fun and games, and despite
its apparent simplicity, this sport requires the guidance of an
expert. Our professional guides are experienced canyoneers
and feel that the practice of safe canyoning necessitates the proper
gear, continual vigilance and a good knowledge of the aquatic environment.
Duration:
First
day: ½
day canyoning plus training, instruction/techniques
