What an amazing experience! I'd never been canyoning before, but I'm addicted since I did this. Definitely do this if you in Nepal!!

We really wanted to go canyoning and heard that Borderlands was the best place to do it. We left Kathmandu around 6am, and drove for close to 4 hours. It was really beautiful! We're not resort kind of people but this was great....very relaxed! We had enough time to have a meal (fantastic food!) and put our stuff in our tents (thatched roof safari-style tents...really comfortable!), and then we were off for our first day of canyoning. The first day was for practice and lasted about 4-5 hours. We hiked to the top of the canyon for about 45 minutes with our gear, then learned the ropes (literally!) on the way down. YOu start off easy and work your way up to a 50m abseil down a waterfall....not sure if it actually was 50m, but it was high! (But this is coming from someone deathly afraid of heights!). The second day is more serious, but a little shorter time-wise. You get to do some sliding and climbing too. It ends with a huge abseil down a big waterfall, and was one of the scariest and most amazing things I've ever done! It was fantastic and I'd go back again in a heart beat! It was also very safe. The guides were a lot of fun but really professional, and you have all of the safety gear that you need to get down in one piece....I've never felt safer doing something so terrifying in my life! :)

More than anything I recommend that you do this in Nepal! Soooo much fun and you'll meet some really amazing people! I can only speak for the canyoning here, but they also offer rafting and kayaking (they're right on the Bhote Kosi river), and Biking, Trekking and Hiking. Plus if you like bungee jumping it's only 5-10km's up the road to get to The Last Resort to do a 160m jump. We hitched a ride over with one of our guides to check it out but no one was going that day.

Just fantastic!!! If I could give it 10 stars out of 5 I would!
