Nepal Extrem

We present you a trip to Nepal full of adrenaline, effort, sport and outdoor activities.

We have a rafting trip on the Trishuli River which, although calm, its water flow makes it a thrilling experience. Two days of mountain biking will take us to the gates of Mustang. Here the ancient Bon religion still permeates the landscape and the spirit of its people. We will climb on foot to Thorung-la, the mythical mountain pass of the Annapurna circuit at 5416 metres altitude, overcoming a difference in altitude of 1700 metres in a single journey.

We will enjoy a MTB thrilling descent to the mythical black river, the Kali Gandaki, to follow its course along what was once the real commercial highway between Tibet and India. A hot spring will repair our body from the effort, before facing two hard days, first to climb Ghorepani and Poon Hill with its amazing views over the white mountain range. Then down to Nayapul and Pokhara where we can now relax with a tandem paragliding, with a spectacular view of Phewa Lake, the Lakeside quarter and the Himalayas on the horizon.

We move east again to approach the Tibetan border along the Friendship Road. Here we have a day of canyoning to refresh ourselves and a much more thrilling and spectacular rafting trip than on the first day.

Finally, the icing on the cake: a day’s cycling through Kathmandu. Yes, perhaps the most complicated day, but once you get the tricky, the most fun day. Apart from visiting important monuments, we can get into the Kathmandu that few tourists know, at a bike pace, at street level, through narrow, noisy, dusty streets, full of potholes, people, cars, motorbikes, dogs, chickens and cows.

This is our challenge, do you dare?

This programme is kind of a demonstration programme, but, of course, it works perfectly as it is. However, I’m sure you have your own preferences and tastes, sporting activities that you like more and perhaps others that you like less. Maybe you love canyoning and you want more, or you have experience in white water kayaking … or whatever. Also, maybe you have a “pro” level in all or some activities, or you are just a beginner in some, in general, the activities can be adapted to the level of the participant, or we can exclude or add some. Whatever you want, we can create a programme and make it just the way you want it.

The ideal minimum group size is 4 people, as some activities are limited to this minimum, in others, there is an age limit. Please ask us.

INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT SCHEDULE

Programs may have to be adapted according to the schedules of your flights to Nepal. The itineraries are designed taking into account that the international flight arrives at Kathmandu in the morning or noon. If you arrive to Nepal afternoon or later it would be better to have a margin day before starting your trek, although it is not essential.

DO YOU WANT TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR TRIP?

Related to the trek itinerary and Kathmandu and/or Pokhara staying we plan the “minimum days recommended” to have a comfortable and safe trip and trek. But always is a good idea to add some extra day during the trek (for rest or as safety extra day) or in your days in Kathmandu or Pokhara.

Like all our tours, the itinerary can be customized and adapted to the taste, needs and preferences of the traveller, especially when it comes to staying in Nepal outside the trek route.

You can opt for the full trip or just hiring the trek and travel on your own in Nepal.

EXPERIENCES TO NEPAL OUTSIDE THE PROGRAM

Whether for free days in Kathmandu or Pokhara, as if you want to add more days to your trip, we offer a number of options and extensions. With them you can add and complete activities and experiences on your trip. Some are already included in some program, but in general we prefer that you choose them on your own, if you are interested in any, depending on your tastes and way of traveling. Ask us for more information if you are interested.
