Hidden
Fortress Trek & Rope
The Hidden Fortress Trek
- Dugunagadi
Fortress
The Dugunagadi
Fortress is a maze of crumbling walls strategically situated on a
plateau. The views are stunning; during the day one gazes at Tibetan
snow-capped peaks and by night, the lights of Khasa, the first Tibetan
town north of the Friendship Bridge, glisten throughout the dark evening
sky. The
Fortress is situated at an altitude of 2084 m and was built in 1854
by the Nepali Army to attack the Bhot, a region behind the Himalaya,
which is Tibet.
Some
of the highlights of the trek are:
- The Duganagadi
Fortress (2400 m),
our destination, a maze of crumbling walls strategically situated
on a plateau with stunning views of the surrounding areas.
- Chagam
(2200 m). One of the highlights of the trek is an all women's
monastery housing some 300 nuns. Some travel from as far away
as Ladakh in order to spend time, learn and meditate here. The
layout of the village is unusual in that each nun has her own
house, thus creating a colourful spattering of red, yellow, green
and white homes throughout the beautiful countryside.
- Listi
(2180 m),
a charming village overlooking the Bhote Kosi river with stunning
views of the surrounding areas.

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.
