Overview of Multi Activity Trip in Nepal

We have put together a multi activity trip in Nepal package so you will have a wholesome experience of Nepal. You will be trekking on peaceful dirt trekking routes that pass through several typical Nepali villages and cycling in a mountainous setting, along the B.P. Koirala Highway. You will also be rafting on the white water rivers of Sunkoshi and Tamur. The combination of trekking, cycling, and rafting will allow you to know Nepal and the Nepalese in closer detail. The balance of these activities will break the monotony that might creep up if you pursue a single activity.

We will be trekking on lonesome dirt tracks that go up and down and from one village to the next. We will cycle on the curved roads of BP Koirala Highway through mountain settings, providing a unique and memorable experience. You will be rafting on the Sun Koshi and Tamur rivers. The rafting routes are challenging at times and will excite and exhilarate you. Some of the most exciting rapids are Harkapur I and II (Class V ), Meat Grinder (Class IV ), Pre anxiety (Class III), and High anxiety (Class IV ) rapids. Throughout this trip, you will enjoy unique mountain range views of some of the tallest mountains in the world.
