Adventure lovers in Nepal have a host of adventure activities to indulge in. An adventure sport that is gaining wide popularity among adventurers is the sport of canyoning. It encompasses a wide variety of “ING” activities: walking, hiking, rappelling, cliff jumping, rock climbing, and swimming. Pretty much wherever there are mountains, there are possible canyon opportunities. So, that is the case about cannibalism in Nepal. Canyoning, as it is known in Europe, has been a popular adventure sport for many years.
In America this sport has been gaining popularity in the last 2 decades. Whereas in Nepal, cannoning as a technical sport is yet to gain traction. Canyoning is a very adventurous activity performed technically using a single rope and descending down through the flowing spring to the base. The adventure activity involves a number of outdoor activities that people of various age groups can enjoy. The remote and rugged Himalayan terrains surrounding Nepal are just the perfect destinations to enjoy the sport of canyoning.
Though there are several breathtaking spots for canyoning in Nepal, the nearest point for the canyoning spot from Kathmandu is Sundarijal, which lies just 15 km northeast of the Kathmandu Valley. The crystal spring flows down from the lap of the dense forest of Shivapuri National Park, which is about 35 meters long from the base. Further to the end of Shivapuri National Park, the village touches Nuwakot and Sindhupalchok District. Shivapuri National Park is very famous for several endangered flora and fauna. After completing the awesome Canyoning in Sundarijal program, you can tool around the Sundarijal area along the dam area from where Kathmandu gets drinking water, too.
