Description

Canyoning (or canyoneering) is an adventurous outdoor activity that involves exploring canyons using a variety of techniques, such as walking, climbing, rappelling, swimming, and sometimes sliding or jumping down waterfalls. It typically takes place in remote, rugged environments with narrow gorges, rocky cliffs, and flowing water. This is the most exciting new adventure sport recently introduced in Nepal. It is an amazing body and mind-blowing experience which requires technical skills of scrambling, wading, boulder hopping, rock climbing, abseiling and climbing down the waterfalls on steep canyon cliffs and swimming through crystal clear pools using special rope systems and safe techniques.

Canyoning involves nearly 80% of the time needs to be spent in the water. Adventure Blossom provides highly professional experienced canyoning guides and the highest quality safety equipment to control the risk elements. This unique adventure sport gives you complete freedom to explore some of the most ruggedly beautiful yet inaccessible remote areas in Nepal.

In Nepal, there are three popular sites where you can go canyoning. Being close to the Last Resort, it gives you the perfect chance to combine your canyoning trip with other adventure activities such as rafting on the Bhote Koshi River, mountain biking or trekking in one combo package.

Itinerary

Day 1 : Drive Kathmandu to Last Resort

We drive to Last Resort from Kathmandu. The journey takes about 2-3 hours. When you get to Last Resort we offer a cup of tea/coffee and brief about the canyoning. After lunch, we raft the Bhote Koshi River and punch some class III-IV challenging white water, including rapids like Ladies delight, Monsoon, Upset and Surprise! We do approx. 10 km section down. We return to the camping site and spend the night.

Day 2 : Canyoning

After breakfast, we trek for 1½ hour from the Camp to Canyoning site. We reach the top of a series of beautiful, untouched waterfalls and with the help of harnesses and ropes we abseil down through the canyon. At one point we pass through a rock cave. We stop to eat our pick-nick lunch on a rock shelf on the way down. A real thrill, as well as a beautiful nature experience! We spend the night at the Camp. The early evening can be spent with volleyball at the beach, a quite yoga section or just relaxing. The kitchen then serves us a delicious dinner. Overnight at camp

Day 3 : Drive back to Kathmandu

Drive back to Kathmandu and transfer to the hotel.
