Experience
a three weeks challenging multisport expedition across Nepal - by
land, water and sky!
On this 3 weeks multisport expedition, you trek for a week from Kathmandu
to Dhunche, visiting some of the most remote villages in the Helambu
and Langtang region. You will trek through a 4500 meter pass and visit
the frozen lake Gosinkunda before dropping down to Dhunche. From there
we ride mountain bikes, down the steep slopes of the Himalayan foothills.
Two days later you are on the kayak or raft with some of the best
paddlers in the country in the great white water of the Trisuli River.
After two days of paddling you arrived at our base camp - The Royal
Beach Camp. Here you have the chance to take on the challenge to go
canyoning our own explored beautiful waterfalls! Three more days on
the raft or in the kayak will also get you to ride elephants in the
jungle of Chitwan National Park. If you are lucky you might even see
a tiger! We finish our expedition in beautiful Pokhara where we go
paragliding. The eagles are your guides as you enjoy
the view of the white peaks of the Annapurnas from a different angel!

get organized for our trip. We can help you arrange airport
pick-up and hotel in Katmandu (not included). |

1-7: Our trek starting point Sundarijal is 15 km outside
of Kathmandu, the gateway to any true Himalayan Adventure.
Then we trek for 5 to 7 hours every day for the next week,
into the most remot parts of the Himalayas. We visit Tamang
and Sherpa villages in the Helambu and Langtang region. We
stay in local homes and share our hosts homecooked meals.
We trek through a 4500 meter pass and visit the frozen lake
Gosinkunda before we then drop down to Dhunche.

slops of the Himalayan foothills. We stay one night at Trisuli
Bazar and the next day we bike along the Trusuli River until
we reach our rafting and kayaking starting point at Baireni. |
| Day
10-11: You choose if you want to raft or kayak for the next
few days, or do a combination of both! This section of the Trisuli
river is for all level of paddlers and we have some of the very
best expedition guides and instructors to lead you down the
river. So even if you are a complete beginner in white water
kayak you can learn as we go. Safety kayakers follow us down
the river, so there is always an option to switch places and
choose what sections you want to do in raft or kayak. If you
only want to raft on this section you will have the opportunity
to try kayaking later on your trip. For two days we continue
down the river and stop for lunch brakes on beaches, visit an
occasional village and camp on the riverbank at night. On day
11 we arrive in our base camp at The Royal Beach. The Royal
Beach Camp is a tented eco-camp on the riverbank. |

Canyon. We reach the top of a series of beautiful, untouched
waterfalls and with the help of harnesses and ropes we abseil
down through the canyon. At one point we pass through a rock
cave. We stop to eat our pick-nick lunch on a rock shelf on
the way down. A real thrill, as well as a beautiful nature experience!
We spend the night at the Camp. |
