Adventure Add-Ons to Your Kathmandu Tour Package

Some are in habit of visualizing Kathmandu, the capital, as an ancient still-historical town out of colonial wars amid huge mountains. But if all you care about is the heart-pounding part of a trip, you might find a typical Kathmandu Holiday package rather underwhelming. Guess what? There is far more to Kathmandu than temples, thangkas and thalis. There is a side to the city and its surrounding areas, which won’t be found in most guidebooks, and they really should. This is a simple yet complete list of some of the adventure add-ons to coexist with a Kathmandu trip that would which would turn a simple holiday into a mini adventure.


1. Mountain Biking in the City through the Forests of Shivapuri

You don’t need to walk down the chaotic lanes of Thamel, just get on a mountain bike and go further away, to the pines and the luscious greens of Shivapuri National Park. This city forest offers spectacular views of pine forests, mountain and low land on a bike ride, with no sweat as well. Biking there has to be more than a mere amusement or sport, It’s an experience with nightmare rain and fog, a delight of lush green moss or a rare solitude. Unlike normal city oriented, this is turn out to be one of the Kathmandu Holiday package, that has that bit of action especially for people who do not like a retrospective peace.


2. Zip Flying in Dhulikhel

If you think only Zip Lining in Pokhara exists, think again. Only one hour drive away from Kathmandu lies Dhulikhel which has the longest and the most scenic zip line available in the country. You will be zooming across the trees of a forest, deep river valleys and fields that seem to puench the sky at times and with great Himalayas holding fort. Feels like dipping into delight for less than three minutes- tiny, sharp, timeless.


3. Surprise at Sunrise - Hike to Champadevi

Champadevi is one of the untold gems surrounding the entire Kathmandu Valley. It’s a few hours hike from the end of the city, to a forest base on top of a hill from which the entire valley can be observed, and if the weather is fine, even a glimpse of Everest. Rise early, take in the brisk morning air, and allow the sun’s light to warm your skin. This before-the-journey activity is especially a good preparation for those who would like to book a Muktinath tour package from Gorakhpur.


4. Whitewater Rafting on the Trishuli River

Would you like to exchange the mad spills of Kathmandu for some bad splashes on a boat? Well, a few hours drive and there is the Trishuli River with some Grade III rapids whose rides can be thrilling without losing your heart if it is your first time in a raft. It world be splashy, but very awesome and never satisfactory. Rafting in Trishuli, be it as an additional activity while going on a trip or as apart of one’s itinerary is definitely a memory created.


5. Trying Out Caving in Siddha Gufa

Kathmandu is just the tip of the iceberg. A delightful drive to Bandaipur and then a hike through jolly green hills finally leads to the Siddha Gufa, the best of the caves within Nepal. Sounds like some out of this world enormous cave that could fit in a church, with only the flickering torchlight and the sound of dripping water. This is not merely about rocks; this is the place where perceptions live in peace since ages. Make a stop here on your way, and change the course of your journey from pish to perfect.


6. Gliding High Over Godavari Hills

Even though Pokhara is the king when it comes to paragliding, you should not ignore Kathmandu skies. The Godavari area has been opened for tandem paragliding, which gives sights of temples, cultivated land and forests, with snow capped mountains in the background; its the Himalayas speaking out loud this time. Its main advantage is that it offers a sort of beauty not so cheap, but thin due to limitation in such areas, and remoteness explains if Is a safe site. Inspirational for religious tourists, such a flight in the air can serve as a great poetic image of purgation prior to climbing the holy mountains according to the custom of Muktinath tours beginning from Gorakhpur.


7. Everest Mountain Flight – Because Why Not?

Not everyone is built for high-altitude trekking. Most people still do want to see Everest. You can with a mountain flight of an hour taking off from Kathmandu. The tallest mountains in the world are within reach, with a choice of viewing them from the cockpit as a bonus. With such options available, why wouldn’t you include that into your tour and turn a usual holiday into something above the usual?


8. Taking On The Rock Climbing Challenge In The Nagarjun Reserve

It’s infact, located a short distance away from the heart of the city that the Nagarjun Hills have got the natural limestone rock formations that could serve both novices and intermediate learners. With the supervision of an experienced climber and the complete set of safety equipment, energized by the calls of the Trogans deep within the forest, it is also one of the most immersive and rewarding activities in Kathmandu and its paradise. Certain sections of the population associate fun with skinned knees and/or stories they can't wait to show in pictures: this is for that section.


9. Discover hidden gems on rooftops of Kathmandu.

Forget about “off the beaten path” and think vertical. The rooftops of Kathmandu’s old quarters, especially in places like Asan and Indra Chowk, conceal shadowy cafes, art corners and even abandoned temples. Consider going for a self-guided exploration, navigate the college of creaky stairwells and come and meet the Kathmandu that few have yet to encounter - the one from up there. It is my belief, and many others can surely agree, that it doesn't have to be some wild adventure set up as some imaginary epic quest, but can be in something small and completely off the wall.


Conclusion

Kathmandu has always been a gateway to the great Himalayan Mountains. Yet there is something more to this city: it is the place where action doesn’t come naturally, it should be performed — written. From those looking for peace in high altitudes to those wanting fun in the cities, there is always a way to go that is different from most of the conventional itineraries. And should it be that the adventure is to be extended beyond the confines of the valley, for instance the holy Muktinath temples, there is no need to keep still. Even if one out of these adventure elements is included before or after the beatification process, the overall experience becomes richer, more exhilarating, and most importnatly more ‘you.’ Because occasionally, inches are infinite achievements.
