Nepal Rafting & Jungle Safari Tour

Nepal is rich in wild life. The tropical jungles of the Terai preserve some of the best wildlife habitat in Asia. Out of the total geographical area of Nepal 16% is occupied by national parks, wildlife reserves and conservation areas. Jungle safari on elephant back is one of the thrilling experiences. Parsa Wildlife Reserve, Royal Bardia National Park, Royal Chitwan National Park and the Royal Shukla Phanta wildlife reserve, offer jungle safari on elephant back or jeep rides. The Terai region can get rather hot during summer months and temperate during winters. It is recommended that visitors carry cool clothes, good walking shoes, shady hat and sunscreen during the summer. The rainy season brings mosquitoes and leeches in the jungles. Mosquito repellant, anti-diarrhea tablets and anti-histamines can be handy during the summer and rainy months.

Nepal has 08 of the 14 Highest Mountains above 8000m. and includes Mount Everest (the highest one) and Mount Kanchanjunga (the third highest). These snowcapped mountains including numerous other mountain peaks crowns this country. The mighty mountains and the glaciers of the Himalayas are the source of its fast flowing rivers. These rivers starting from the glacial water of the Himalayas flow down due south meandering through beautiful landscape, deep gorges, valleys and flat land of south Nepal to ultimately drain in the Bay of Bengal after joining Holy River Ganges in the Indian plains. These rivers offer rafting and canoeing trips to both adventurous as well as beginners.

A rafting trip in one of the rivers here in Nepal gives you a chance to get the real fragrance of Nepal while you raft through beautiful countryside enjoying the sight of traditional Nepali houses perched on the hillsides and slopes, terraced paddy fields where the people sow their dreams with hopes of growing better future for themselves and for their offspring.
