We have just returned from a 14 day, 11 day hike with Raj and Durga from Team Himalaya to Everest Base Camp. From the minute we landed to our departure we were properly looked after and cared for by Team Himalaya. The trek to and from Everest Base Camp was wonderful, our guides and porters really looked after us and were incredibly knowledgeable. In Nepal things can go wrong especially with flights to and from Lukla but Team responded magnificently and found alternative solutions. If this is on your bucket list as ours and you are looking for a company to organise this with I would 100% recommend Raj.
Being home to countless snowcapped mountains, Nepal boasts some of the most beautiful and pristine whitewater rivers. With over 6000 big and small rivers flowing across the country, there is a wide range of water sports activities available for thrill seekers. One such adrenaline-pumping experience is Rafting. While rafting is not a sport exclusive to Nepal, it certainly is one of the finest and most versatile water sports in South Asia.
Ranging from one-day trips for beginners to week-long rafting and kayaking expeditions through jungles and alpine rivers for seasoned players, the choices are limitless. There are various options and locations available for rafting in Nepal. Rafting on rivers like the Trishuli and the Bhote Koshi can be done in one day, as they are very close to Kathmandu. However, there are ample options for multiple-day expeditions. You can go rafting in the steep glacial river of Kali Gandaki that streams through the deepest gorge in the world, or in the wide river basin of the choppy Sun Koshi River in Eastern Nepal. In short, Nepal offers varied river-rafting itineraries with grades ranging from 1 to 6 and exotic sightings of aquatic and floral species.
