Travel style · Paragliding, rafting, bungee and peaks
Adventure sports in Nepal
Tandem paragliding from Sarangkot, rafting on the Trishuli and Karnali, the Bhote Koshi bungee, zip-lining above Pokhara, mountain biking in the valley rim and trekking peaks such as Island Peak.
Pokhara is one of the busiest paragliding sites in Asia, and Nepal's snow-fed rivers give multi-day rafting that few countries can match.
We book operators we know and build in weather days. Adventure activities need specific insurance cover: check your policy before you travel.
