          2. Bungee Jumping

            Bhote Koshi bungee jumping is arguably the most thrilling activity in Nepal. It is carried out from a suspension bridge across the rushing Bhote Koshi River close to the Tibetan border. From a high bridge, such as the one at The Last Resort, which is situated above the Bhote Koshi River, make an exciting plunge. This jump is an adrenaline sensation that should not be missed by any adventurer visiting Nepal. There are several other amazing bungee jumping locations in Nepal. Be bold and take risks.

            3. Mountain Flight

                5. Zip-lining

                  Zip-lining is an exciting sport, one that will raise your racing heart. Pokhara boasts one of the longest and tallest zip lines in the world.

Ultralight flights are possibly the best way to soak in all the gorgeous views of Pokhara.

                    7. Skydiving Over Everest

                      Jumping from a plane at 23,000 feet while Everest and other Himalayan peaks are in the background is a once-in-a-lifetime event which is one of the most extreme adventure sports in the world. Never is the memory of free falling over the highest mountains in the world and then landing on the wild setting of Syangboche or Ama Dablam Base Camp going to fade away; it is one of the most unusual activities in Nepal because very few individuals have had the opportunity to be involved in this precious trip. 

                      Land Adventures

                      1. Jungle Safari

With numerous packages for different requirements, you will have time to explore the wonderful wetlands, grasslands, and woodlands of this park.

                        Bardia National Park is the largest wilderness in the Terai of Nepal and remains relatively undisturbed. It presents a more private and intimate wildlife experience since it is seldom visited by tourists compared to Chitwan. It provides excellent habitat for endangered species like Gangetic dolphin, wild elephant, and Royal Bengal tiger.

                          Rock climbers can find several different natural formations suitable for all skill levels within a short drive of Kathmandu and Pokhara. The very varied terrain of the country is an added advantage for these sports, given the rocky cliffs are quite high and the canyons are quite deep. There are climbing routes both artificial and natural, the Nagarjun Forest being one of the most prime locations for climbing near Kathmandu. Climb walls that are artificially created to challenge, as well as natural rock formations, with breathtaking views. 

                          4. Caving
