Canyoning in Nepal is recently introduced as a new activity by a few trained canyoneers and adventure tour operators. Our company – Himaland is one of the pioneers. Canyoning/ canyoneering is a popular adventure sport in Europe since 1980s and in America since 1990s. Guided canyon trips are already a professional sport in many countries like; France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, New Zealand, USA and many more in the west.
Considering the sheer size of the Himalayas and big mountains stretching from the East to the West, Nepal is a ground of exception as regards to the morphology and the aesthetic of canyons and the main characteristic to the entirety of canyons: depth and verticality. Hence, CANYONING holds a tremendous potential as a new and adventure tourism product in Nepal. There are numerous canyons of different grades in the mid mountain range and some of them are higher up in the foothills of the Himalayan range. They are of world class and both fascinating and challenging.
