Adventure
Bungy
Jumping:
Bungy jumping, which has been
restricted in some parts of Europe, can be experienced in this Himalayan
Kingdom. One can reach the bungy jumping site, which lies near
Nepal-Tibet border some 160 miles northeast of Kathmandu, within three
hours of smooth drive from Kathmandu. Designed by a leading bungy
consultant of New Zealand, and operated by highly experienced
jumpmasters, the 160-meter high bungy jump is over the Bhotekoshi River.
Visitors can stay at The Last Resort overnight and experience more than
80 challenging rapids on the wild river on the second day.
Mountain Biking:
Adventure lovers can explore both the
rural as well as urban settings of Nepal with the help of mountain
bikes. They can make trips to several places such as Namchhe Bazaar,
Pokhara, Palpa, Chitwan, Lumbini, and many other touristic sites of the
country. As it does not have any adverse impact on the environment of
the sites, it may be one of the best ways to visit interesting places.
Hot Air Ballooning:
One will get an exciting experience by looking down the earth from the
sky. Spending an hour on a balloon in the sky and having an aerial view
of the cities of Kathmandu Valley, Himalayan range and green hills
around the Valley will be memorable forever. The majestic snowcapped
peaks, rugged terrains and trails to Mt. Sagarmatha will tempt you to
have the experience once again.
Mountain flight:
It is one of the attractions for
those who are interested to have a close view of high mountain peaks.
During one hour’s flight will take one to the camera range of some high
peaks and one will be able to take photographs of the peaks. Many peaks
such as Mt. Sagarmatha (8,848 meters), the highest peak of the world,
and a beautiful landscape of the Himalayan region can be seen at a close
distance. Coming close to the highest peaks of the world will give one a
different feeling. Mountain flights are especially recommended for those
visitors who have no time to go for trekking and mountaineering.
