Adrenaline Canyoning Nepal
Canyoning is one adventure sport that gets you off the
beaten track and cannot be missed by the adrenaline seeker..
Canyoning is an amazing full body and mind experience that
enables you to explore some of the last wilderness places in the Himalayas. On
your journey, you will be accompanied by expert and qualified guides who will
train you and guide your way. Whilst Canyoning, you journey though narrow
passages of rock which have been contoured by ages of rushing water from the
Himalayan snow melts and heavy monsoon rains.
Canyoning is the sport of traveling down canyons using a
variety of techniques including walking, scrambling, climbing, jumping,
abseiling and swimming. It requires good navigational skills, rope work,
swimming ability and a good level of fitness and upper body strength.
In most parts of the world, Canyoning is done in wet,
mountain canyons - those with water flowing in them. Canyons that are good for
Canyoning are cut into the bedrock stone, forming narrow slots with drops,
beautiful sculptured walls and spectacular waterfalls. Although many of the
best canyons are cut into limestone, other common rock types include granite
and sandstone. Canyons can be very easy or rather difficult, though emphasis in
the sport is on aesthetics and fun, rather than pure difficulty. Significant
water flow can make canyons very treacherous, and require special rope work
techniques for safe travel. All of your
Canyoning gear like climbing hardware, static ropes, helmets and wetsuits is
included in the trip.
In Nepal there are three places where you can go Canyoning;
they are all based out of the Last Resort, so you have nice comfortable
accommodation to return to at the end of your day. Adrenaline Rush Nepal can
arrange for you any thing form a day trip form Kathmandu to a three day all
inclusive Canyoning package.

beautiful canyons right at your doorstep. This is a canyon not to be missed!
