Nepal is very
rewarding paradise for lovers of birds. Due to great land & altitude variation, Nepal
homes over 850 species of colorful endemic, endanger avian details. Nepal also gets huge
migration as far as from Siberia all year round. We combine Kathmandu valley hills,
Chitwan national park and Koshi Tapu of lowland.
Nepal is also one of the best destination in the word for water sports. Most of the rivers
are glacier fed that runs directly down from the mountains, so their rapidity &
currents are as varied as the topography. Sunkoshi ( tenth wildest river in the
world),Tamur, Karnali offers best range of scenery & rapids for longer floats and
offers participants to develop adeptness and expertise .Kali gandaki, Trishuli, Seti and
Marsyngdi, Bheri rivers are for medium time range and suitable even for first time
thrills. Hence, Nepal’s thundering waters coming from the glaciers of mighty
Himalayas provides the unmatched thrills for rafting and kayaking and immersing oneself in
the landscape is not an experience to be forgotten easily.
Hot air balloon is newly introduced adventure sports & it is getting the
popularity day by day. Flying with the green Mahabharat mountains all around & the
clusters of human settlements & lush green fields right below, floating in the basket
room or the room with a view is invariably is great experience of lifetime.
