A trekking in Nepal can be ideally combined with sightseeing tour of Kathmandu valley, an elephant back safari in the Chitwan national park, a short white water rafting or an exhilerating mountain flight. These are immensely enjoyed trip extensions by our past clients and one or all of them can be combined to your trip too.
Safari in Chitwan national park
While Nepal has snow capped Himalayas on the north, we have tropical national parks teeming with a great number of wildlives on the south bordering with India.The Chitwan national park is a popular place for wildlife tours in Nepal. Chitwan is just 20 minutes by flight from Kathmandu or 5 hours by drive.Covering an area of 932 Km, Chitwan national park is the home for 450 species of birds, big population of one horned asian rhinos, deers, boars, bisons, buffalos, peacocks, leopards and bengal tigers. The usual programmes offered in Chitwan are early morning canoe ride in the river with bird watching, jungle walk, elephant back safari, a visit to elephant breeding centre and cultural programme of ethnic people. You definitely see many of the above mentioned animals in wild and if lucky even a tiger.
Rafting tours on Nepal's rivers
The thundering and thrilling Himalayan rivers offer some of finest white water rafting experiences in Nepal.The water is warm and the wide white sand beaches of Nepal rivers are ideal for camping. Rivers of varying rafting grades are available. The Trisuli is a class 3 river offering one or two days' trips of mild current, ideal for beginners or for a family group. The Seti river offers excellent two day trip of moderate difficulty. The Bhotekoshi has 4+ difficulty grade and offers non stop rapids for a true rafting adventure. All these three rivers are within few hours' driving distance from Kathmandu or Pokhara and hence can be easily combined to your trip.
