Rock Climbing
If you want a cliffhanger experience in
Nepal. The Kathmandu Valley perimeter
offers some hair-raising spots. There
are some terrific, dizzying places for
those who get their kicks from crawling
up vertical cliffs. If you are not
making it to some of the kingdom's high
peaks, here's another opportunity to get
a high.
Of late, rock climbing has found
increasing popularity among the tourists
coming into Nepal as well as for local
enthusiasts. Trekking agencies too have
jumped into the bandwagon and some of
them now offer the rock climbing
experience.
Most of the spots are situated to the
north and northwest of the valley, in
the vicinity of the Nagarjun Royal
forest and the Shiva-puri, Watershed and
Wildlife Reserve. your rock climbing
trip can therefore be combined with bird
watching game watching and experiencing
some of the last of the valley's wilds.

Elephant Polo
-
So you've done it all. You've hit a
six. You've birdied at the tricky
15th... and you've bent it like
Beckham into the back of the net.
What on earth is there left to
challenge your sporting prowess...?
-
Well, this is the chance (and
possibly the only chance – ever) to
up the stakes and participate in the
noble sport of Elephant Polo, on an
incredible trip for two.
-
You'll fly to Kathmandu, where you
will stay in a centrally located
five-star hotel for the first night.
The next day you will fly down to
the stunning Tiger Tops Jungle Lodge
for three nights. From there you'll
travel daily by jeep, river boat
and, of course, elephant, as you
attend various matches in the World
Elephant Polo Championship and be
invited to attend evening parties.
And then comes the best bit…
-
You will be trained by the experts
to play Elephant Polo, then you'll
actually participate in the eagerly
awaited visitors match in, what we
promise, will be the sporting
experience of your life.
-
On the fifth day you will fly back
to Kathmandu, where you will stay
overnight before departing on day
six.
-
Please remember this is an exclusive
invitation and cannot usually be
done!
-
It's the chance of a lifetime – no
bull (not even elephant bull)!
