Canyoning is an extremely adventurous sport with a thrilling experience. All of the activities as abseiling, sliding, jumping, swimming, and climbing down waterfalls through steep canyon walls to deep pools are categorized as Canyoning. A unique combination of canyoning skills gives the brave canyoneer the freedom to explore some of the most ruggedly beautiful, yet forbidden places in Nepal.
As many true adventure seekers have discovered, the most exciting spot for swimming begins at the very edge of a 45m waterfall. After the first descent, we abseil another 25m down a steep canyon, then to the wild rock formations, through powerful blasts of water. At the end of the excursion, we make our last jump and submerge ourselves into a pool. Once on the ground, we rest on a beach within the canyon walls and swim out between narrow boulders.
From sheer cliffs and slides to pounding waterfalls, you will experience all the joys of canyoning. Despite all the fun and games, this sport requires the guidance of an expert. Our instructors are experienced canyoneers and believe that the practice of safe canyoning necessitates the proper gear, continual vigilance and a good knowledge of the aquatic environment.
