While trekking is Nepal’s most famous activity, the country offers a wide range of adventure experiences suited to different interests and fitness levels. Many travellers combine trekking with other activities to experience Nepal beyond the mountains.
Paragliding is especially popular in Pokhara, where flights offer views of lakes, valleys, and the Annapurna range. White-water rafting is another major attraction, with rivers suitable for both beginners and experienced rafters. Trips range from a few hours to multi-day expeditions with camping.
For wildlife enthusiasts, jungle safaris in Chitwan and Bardia National Parks provide opportunities to see rhinos, elephants, crocodiles, and, with luck, tigers. Mountain biking is growing in popularity, offering routes through villages, hills, and scenic backroads.
Nepal also offers bungee jumping, canyoning, zip-lining, rock climbing, and ultra-light flights, mainly around Pokhara and other adventure hubs. Most activities are well-regulated and run by experienced operators, though travellers should always check safety standards and reviews.
Nepal’s variety makes it easy to tailor an adventure itinerary based on time, comfort, and interests.
