Welcome to Visit Nepal.
In Nepal, there are numerous fine rivers which offer excellent rafting and kayaking. You can relax and glide through roaring white rapids, in the care of expert river guides. You can find clear sandy beaches to camp or to take meals. There are some nice pools for swimming, but you need to be guided by your River Guide. Longer river trips offer you the best range of scenery and rapids. Longer river trips also allow enough time for participants to develop their rafting skills. Most of the longer river trips in Nepal offer you more excitement and wilderness.
The most popular rivers in Nepal for Rafting are:- Trisuli, Seti, Marshyandi, Kaligandaki, Karnali, Sunkoshi, Tamur, Bhotekoshi etc.
Trisuli River = 1-3days ( grade 3+ )
This River is most popular and easily accessible from Kathmandu and Pokhara. For the first- time rafter it offers plenty of excitement. Many tourists choose this river trip on the way to Royal Chitwan National Park. A trip on this river can be made for various different lengths of time, depending upon the availability of time and interest.
Kaligandaki = 3days (grade 4-5)
This river flows through remote canyons and a deep gorge, which is also known as the deepest gorge in the world. The rafting starts from Maldhunga near Baglung. Maldhunga is about 55 kilometers drive from Pokhara. Some tourists start this rafting trip after they end their Annapurna trek via Tatopani and Beni. Rafting is for 3 days only, because of Kaligandaki hydro- power project.
Seti Khola River = 2days(grade 2-4)
This river starts from Machhapuchere Mountain; it flows through the centre of Pokhara city. But there is a dangerous gorge in the centre part of the city which was made by this river. That’s why rafting is not possible from Pokhara city. You have to drive to Damauli, which is 50 kilometers from Pokhara on the way to Kathmandu . This river is suitable for first- time rafters and middle- aged people. From Damauli this river winds through vast canyons and untouched tracks of forest, and the trip lasts for two days.
A company called Ker & Downey provides a luxury-tented camp with rafting in this river. Many European and American agents sell this trip . www.visit-nepal.com/ker&downey.htm
Bhote Koshi=Two days ( 4-5 )
Sun Koshi=8 to 10 days ( 4-5 )
Karnali =10 days( 4-5 )
Adventure travel
Adventure travel is a tourism, involving exploration or travel to remote or exotic areas, where the traveler should "expect the unexpected". Adventure tourism is rapidly growing in popularity, as tourists seek different kinds of vacations. According to the U.S. based Adventure Travel Trade Association, adventure travel may be any tourist activity, including two of the following three components: a physical activity, a cultural exchange or interaction and engagement with nature.
Adventure tourism gains much of its excitement by allowing its participants to step outside of their comfort zone. This may be from experiencing culture shock or through the performance of acts, that require significant effort and involve some degree of risk (real or perceived) and/or physical danger. This may include activities such as mountaineering, trekking, bungee jumping, mountain biking, rafting, zip-lining and rock climbing. Some obscure forms of adventure travel include disaster tourism and ghetto tourism.[1] Other rising forms of adventure travel include social tourism, jungle tourism and overland travel.
Access to inexpensive consumer technology, with respect to Global Positioning Systems, flashpacking, social networking and photography, have increased the worldwide interest in adventure travel.[2][3] The interest in independent adventure travel has also increased as more specialist travel websites emerge offering previously niche locations and sports.

Tour operators, travel agencies & retailers
Many organizations and companies worldwide cater to adventure clientèle. Some geographic regions are promoted by both private and public agencies as adventure travel destinations, such as the Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica, one of the worldwide leaders.
Disabled
With the trend of increasing accessible tourism, available to disabled persons around the world, some tourism areas are developing adventure tourism specifically for the disabled. Whistler, British Columbia and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada have been taking the lead with the 2010 Winter Paralympics. Adventure travel for the disabled has become a $13 billion USD a year industry in North America.[4]
Notable disabled adventurers include: Erik Weihenmayer, the first blind person to climb Mount Everest; Casey Pieretti, an amputee skater; and Caroline Walsh, founder of the Access to Marine Conservation for All International.
Some adventure travel destinations offer diverse programs and job opportunities developed specifically for the disabled.[5] Esprit Rafting, located in Pontiac Regional County Municipality, in Quebec, Canada, designs rafting trips for people with spinal cord damage.
Types of Adventure Travel
Disaster Tourism
Main article: Disaster tourism
Disaster tourism is the act of traveling to a disaster area as a matter of curiosity. The behavior can be a nuisance if it hinders rescue, relief, and recovery operations.
If not done because of pure curiosity, it can be cataloged as disaster learning.
Ghetto Tourism
Main article: Ghetto tourism
Ghetto tourism refers to the growing popularity of tourism in ghettos.
Ghetto tourism includes all forms of entertainment — "gangsta rap," video games, movies, TV, and other forms that allow consumers to traffic in the inner city without leaving home.
Jungle Tourism
Main article: Jungle tourism
Jungle tourism is a rising subcategory of adventure travel defined by active multifaceted physical means of travel in the jungle regions of the earth. Although similar in many respects to adventure travel, jungle tourism pertains specifically to the context of region, culture and activity. According to the Glossary of Tourism Terms, jungle tours have become a major component of green tourism in tropical destinations and are a relatively recent phenomenon of Western international tourism.
Overland Travel
Main article: Overland travel
Overland travel or overlanding refers to an "overland journey" - perhaps originating with Marco Polo's first overland expedition in the 13th century from Venice to the Chinese court of Kublai Khan. Today overlanding is a form of extended adventure holiday, embarking on a long journey, often in a group. Overland companies provide a converted truck or a bus plus a tour leader, and the group travels together overland for a period of weeks or months.
Since the 1960s overlanding has been a popular means of travel between destinations across Africa, Europe, Asia (particularly India), the Americas and Australia. The "Hippie trail" of the 60s and 70s saw thousands of young westerners travelling through the Middle East to India and Nepal.
[edit] Urban Exploration
Main article: Urban Exploration
Urban exploration (often shortened as urbex or UE) is the examination of the normally unseen or off-limits parts of urban areas or industrial facilities. Urban exploration is also commonly referred to as infiltration, although some people consider infiltration to be more closely associated with the exploration of active or inhabited sites. It may also be referred to as "draining" (when exploring drains) "urban spelunking", "urban caving", or "building hacking".
The nature of this activity presents various risks, including both physical danger and the possibility of arrest and punishment. Many, but not all, of the activities associated with urban exploration could be considered trespassing or other violations of local or regional laws.
[edit] Ethno Tourism
Ethno tourism refers to visiting a foreign location for the sake of observing the indigenous members of its society for the sake of non-scientific gain. Some extreme forms of this include attempting to make first contact with tribes that are protected from outside visitors.
Two controversial issues associated with ethno tourism include bringing natives into contact with diseases they do not have immunities for, and the possible degradation or destruction of a unique culture and/or language.[6]

Changing Concert tour
Nepal’s diverse terrain is a mountain biker’s dream adventure comes true. Mountain biking offers an environmentally sound way of exploring this magnificent country; it’s landscape and living heritage. Because this is a Spartan, laborious mode of travel, it is also considered the way to travel by the ‘purists’.
There are plenty of dirt roads and trails in Nepal to meet every mountain biker’s wildest fantasy. Mountain biking is also recommended if you wish to explore the urban centers such as Pokhara and Kathmandu, plus the outskirts. Imagine, if you will, a ride through lush green rice fields, through hamlets, up and down the hillside, along the riverbank, around temples, past the street-roaming cattle, along the suspension bridge, along the highway, you name it. Through snow, monsoon downpour, wonderful light effect, or fierce head winds, depending on place and season. The adventurous souls may plan extended trips to such exotic locales as Tibet, Namche Baazzar, and western Nepal. You could even do the entire length of Nepal across the plains. What you can or cannot do on mountain bike is limited only by your imagination.
It was in the mid 1980s that biking activity really took off in Kathmandu. Enthusiasts flew with their bikes from East Asia to Tibet to do a 2-weeks journey from there over the passes (17,000 ft.) to Nepal. This landmark event put Nepal squarely in mountain bikers’ map. Thus Kathmandu today is considered a mecca for mountain bicyclists, drawing hundreds of enthusiasts from all corners of the world every year. Some of the regular routes that cover the valley are those, which weave in and out of Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Patan.
Day 01: Kathmandu (24 km/3-4 hours):
Start from the nerve center of old Kathmandu, the Durbar Square, and wind your way up to holy Swayambhu, also known as the money temple. Then ride up and over ring road, to way, Kakani, and re-enter Kathmandu from the northwest corner through terraced farmland and hamlets abandoned by time.
Day 02: Bhaktapur (30 km/4-5 hours):
Begin at Thimi, the restored capital of Bhaktapur, and head up the tortuous road to Changu Narayan Temple and return via farming villages. Then head down to Pashupati along the bank of the Bagmati river, and finish up at a Buddhist shrine, the Bouddhanath Stupa.
Day 03: Patan (51 km/8-9 hours):
Start in Patan, winding your way though the maze of alleys with ornately carved windows, taking in historical sites such as the Golden temple, Krishan temple, and Patan Durbar Square. Then head southeast past Ring Road to Panauti along a difficult off-road trail. Then return to Kathmandu via a paved road or the same trail. Alternatively, you could head off to Dakshin Kali or Godavari.
Other outlying places popular with the enthusiasts are Nagarjuna, Nage Gompa, Tokha, Ichangu Narayan, Gomcha, Bungamati, Kakani, Dhulikhel and Nagarkot.
Further mountain bike trips are those extending from:
a) Dhulikhel to Kodari (82 km), near the Tibetan border.
b) Naubise to Royal Chitwan Park along the Rajpath though such scenic places as the Palung Valley, Daman, and the not-so-scenic industrial town of Hetauda in the plains.
c) Hetauda to Mugling by way of Narayanghat.
d) Lakeside Pokhara up and along the ridge to Sarangkot point, and continuing on to Naudanada from where you could take in the breathtaking close-up view of the Himalayas and the Pokhara Valley.
e) Naudanda to Pokhara through Lumle, Beni and Birethanti, or Naudanda to Pokhara (32 km) either via Sarangkot trail described in (d) or the highway track, which starts with a tortuous 6 km descent into Modi Khola Vally.
There are many more options if you are willing to take the time to find out and blaze your own trial.
