Nepal: The Land of Adventure Sports

 Sure, you know that Nepal is famous for being home to 8 of the world's highest peaks. Sure, you know Nepal is home to Everest and brings in thousands of climbing enthusiasts a year. Sure, you know many people come here to trek the downtrodden paths through the world's finest high mountain scenery. SURE, you know many others flock to Nepal for cultural, architectural, and artistic reasons..

But!

Did you know that Nepal is also home to a number of thrilling adventure sports? Most people don't, as they tend to only focus on the obvious.

Canyoning in Nepal
Nepal is home to a number of raging rapids for white water rafting, a fantastic gorge for bunging jumping, and rocky terrain for rock climbing and extreme cycling. If you're looking for adventure-- Look no further than Nepal. From the outside, it seems a quaint and simple place--but dig deeper and you'll find the true Nepal-- rugged and thrilling in every aspect.

Relax after a hard day at The Last Resort
We have worked with a company called Adventure X, based out of the UK. They are a very reputable company--offering fully supported white water rafting and kayaking trips, and adventurous mountain biking excursions. Check out their website at http://www.adventurex.co.uk/Nepal.asp .

Bungy Jumping in Nepal
Another company we continually support is The Last Resort. They are a foreign run company with top of the line safety standards--specializing in bungy jumping, canyon swings, canyoning, and high ropes courses. The Canyon Swing is the highest in the world at 160m, with a free fall of 100m. They say you'll travel at 150km/hr! If the drop doesn't stun you, the view of the massive gorge and river below will!
