Another option for mountain biking is from the Borderland Resort just 16 kilometers from the  Tibetian border. Tours are concentrated mainly in this jungle like  region

BORDERLAND'S CANYONING

CanyoningThe Borderland Resort is surrounded with countless waterfalls and deep canyons.  With highly trained instructions, climbing equipment and a sense of adventure you will descend down these beautiful but forbidding places.  A new sport geared to the Ultimate sports-enthusiast, it involves abseiling, sliding, jumping and climbing down steep canyon walls along side waterfalls to deep pools. As many true adventure seekers have discovered, the most exciting spot for swimming begins at the edge of a 45m waterfall.  Once on the ground, we rest on a pebble beach within the canyon walls, then the journey out begins.  We swim into narrow passages, through powerful blasts of water, past wild rock formations.

Apart from all the fun and games, this sport required the guidance of an expert.  Our instructors are experienced canyoneers and believe that the practice of safe canyoning necessitates the proper gear, continual vigilance and good knowledge of the aquatic environment.

JUNGLE SAFARI

Jungle Safari

Experiencing wildlife safari while in Nepal has been like a traveler's delight. The extreme geographical diversity of Nepal provides a wealth of flora and fauna unlike anywhere else in the world. Travelling south to the Royal Chitwan National Park, the wildlife in this beautiful natural preserve is abundant. One horned rhinoceros, gaur ( wild oxen) , gharial and marsh mugger crocodiles, sloth bear, langur, chital and majestic bengal tiger are what one would be able to view during their visit to this pristine land. Exploring further through the villages and the farmlands of our terai region, you would come across yet more magnificent Royal National Bardia Park situated at the heart of west Nepal's remote but undisturbed wilderness. The uproaring Karnali River flowing through the middle of this park, and the riverine forests and grasslands fed by its water are home to 32 species of mammal and some 250 bird species. Bardia is undoubtedly a majestic and unspoiled land of wildlife which provides for a high possibility of big game wildlife viewing, including Royal Bengal Tiger, Wild Elephant and rare Gangetic Dolphin.
