MOUNTAIN BIKING
Nepal offers a challenging and pleasant scenic ride from the
tropical plains of terai, mid-hills, mountainous terrain and its
lush valleys to the arctic climate of the high alpine region. The
only way to discover these hidden treasures and its warm
ever-smiling people is on mountain bikes. Mountain biking is a great
fun and a perfect way to discover Nepal's great diverse landscape,
of tremendous terrain, tracks and trails. Where mountain bike takes
you away from the hustle bustle of the city-town life into serene
country life, on a hidden trail rarely visited area of local
villages, its traditional rural life style that has preserved for
centuries.

CABLE CAR
You don't have to be in Switzerland to ride on
cable cars. Unlike in the West, the cable car in Nepal takes you up
to the abode of Manakamana, the Wish-Fulfilling Goddess, on what you
could call a spiritual ride. Legend has it that Manakamana fulfills
all wishes. This belief is so ingrained in the collective
conciousness of the Nepalis that many make a trip to Manakamana
every year without fail. Stories abound of people's wishes
coming true: lost sons returning home, lovers finding romance
against all odds, people finding success in their business ventures,
students excelling in their exams, separated husband and wife
getting back together, and on and on. Even if you have no wishes to
make (assuming that you have got it all, which means you have no
need of Manakamana's blessings) or even if you are an atheist or
agnostic, this place offers you a unique look into Nepali people's
faith in Goddess Manakamana. Also you could look at the river
valleys and the Himalayas from here. Or just explore the hamlets
downhill.
BOATING
Nepal provides some fine opportunities for
boating. These range from the glacier-fed lakes up North and down to
where the laden rivers ease into the plains of the Terai. Pokhara
Phewa Lake is the most popular destination for travelers wanting to
indulge in recreational boating. It is the second largest lake in
the kingdom and measures roughly 1.5 by 4 km. Its eastern shore,
also known as Lakeside or Baidam, is the center of tourist activity
in Pokhara.
Begnas and Rupa Tal are located 15 km out of
Pokhara at the end of a road that turns off the Kathmandu highway.
Both these lakes offer some splendid boating opportunities. Phewa,
Begnas and Rupa Lakes were all part of the body of water that once
filled the Pokhara valley.
Renting a boat for a couple of hours and heading
out to the middle or the other side of the lake bordering the
forested hill, and taking a swim, can be the highlight of a warm
day. The water is cleaner out far from the buffalo and washing on
the edge. Boats can also be had for the whole day, or on an hourly
basis. You can either row around yourself or hire a boatman, the
former being definitely a better option.
bungy
jumping
The ultimate thrill of a bungy jump can now be
experienced in Nepal at one of the best sites that this sport can boast of
anywhere in the world. Nepal's first bungy jumping site is suited 160m over the
Bhote Kosi river, inviting you to experience the ultimate adrenaline rush in the
surroundings of this amazing place. The jump, at 160m.,is staffed and operated
by some of the most experienced jumpmasters in the business.
