Trip Overview

Canyoning Adventure:

Nepal is not just about big mountains. It has wild, hidden places too. Deep canyons are in the hills and forests. Waterfalls and time made these canyons. They are secret worlds of rocks and fast water. You will get to explore these places. You slide, climb, swim, and use ropes to go down steep paths and streams.

This is not a normal trip. It is real and very fun. One minute, you stand at a 30-meter waterfall. Your heart beats fast. Fog is around you. The next minute, you go down with a rope. Water roars in your ears. Jungle is all around. Then you jump into a clear pool. Cool water covers you. You come up smiling. You want to do it again.

Each canyon is different. Some are narrow and exciting. Others are wide and green. Some have big drops you go down with ropes. Others have fun slides and jumps. All canyons are beautiful. They are strong. They make you feel like you found something new.

Canyoning is good for people who want more than sightseeing. It is about moving, enjoying nature, and trying hard things. You do this with help and safety. It is great if you are new to canyoning. It is also good if you love outdoor fun. This trip wakes up your senses. It connects you to nature in a big, fun way.

You stay in a hotel for the night before and after the trip. You get breakfast at the hotel. You also get lunch and dinner during the day. Safe drinking water is provided. Snow Bank Adventure takes care of everything. They arrange transport, guides, and gear. You don’t need to worry.

You need to have full, personal, travel insurance that covers personal belongings, trip cancellation plus medical, rescue, and evacuation insurance(for air ambulance and helicopter rescue services).

How fit do I need to be to trek in Nepal?

Regular walking or jogging activities for a few months before your trip will ensure high altitude trekking. People who trek so quickly and climb too high in a day may suffer Acute Mountain Sickness( AMS) so we call trekkers slow and steady walking. Stops for rests and do not carry more than 5 kg with you. Pre-fitness and stamina are required for trekking in Nepal. Spend at least two nights in the city before going to the trekking destination which gives time for acclimatization as well as easy to arrange necessary trekking permits.

We prefer the group size from 1-10 pax but more can be accommodated on request. There must be 2 persons accompanied by a registered guide in the Restrict Regions( Upper Dolpo, Mustang, Nar-Phu, Manaslu, and Kanchenjunga). Anyone who is reasonably fit and can walk for 5-6 hours a day in a hilly country can trek in Nepal. We suggest children up to 15 years stay below 3500m and above 15 years can tackle the higher routes.

Will someone meet me at the airport?

A delegate from Snow Bank Adventure will meet you outside the terminal building and pick you up and take you to your hotel. We use cars or minibusses as the means of transportation in cities. For trekking, we use flights, local buses, minibusses or jeeps depends on the distance, terrain, and size of the group. There is a limitation on luggage up to 15 kg per person on small planes.
