ACTIVITY HOLIDAYS IN NEPAL

Nestling between the nations of China/Tibet and India, Nepal was never colonised by foreign powers. This mountain kingdom, effectively closed for centuries due to its geographic inaccessibility, has therefore evolved into a fiercely independent and yet tolerant country. Culturally made up of a rich mix of Hinduism and Buddhism together with dozens of languages and dialects spoken across the country there is a huge amount to see. The ancient capital city of Kathmandu is said to have more temples than houses and is now a world Heritage site. There are good reasons why Nepal has developed into a popular destination for people wanting an adventure holiday or to do something active in their leisure time. Sharing eight out of ten of the world's highest mountains it is one of the primary destinations for walkers and trekkers as well as high altitude mountain climbing expeditions.

There is a whole industry that has grown up in Kathmandu and Pokora during last 20 years offering services from provisioning of expeditions to portering services to obtaining trekking permits and climbing permits on behalf of the more adventurous travellers. Choices for trekking include the Annapurnas, Lantang or Everest or Mera Peak. Then there are other activities offered in Nepal such as rafting on the Kali Gandaki or big game watching in Chitwan National Park. Nepal is a poor country with 80% of its population living off the land through agriculture. Average life expectancy for a man is no more than 48 years which is an indicator of how tough life can be for the average Nepali.
The environment within Nepal is also very fragile. Travellers to Nepal, particularly those going out into the mountains and rural areas, need to be particularly sensitive to their environmental impact. One effect of deforestation within Nepal is that is the prevalence of landslides during the rainy season. This is one factor that contributed to the unpredictability of travelling anywhere in Nepal.
