Trekking

Trekking in Nepal involves a walking trip following existing trails, most of which have been used for communication and trade for many years. Trekking is not mountaineering. Whilst some of the popular trekking trails are used by mountaineering expeditions on their approach marches, most are simply used by the local Nepalese for everyday travel and trade.

White Water Rafting

White water rafting involves negotiating fast-flowing rivers in an inflatable rubber raft or white water kayak over crashing waves and swirling rapids. Nepal has earned a reputation as one of the best destinations in the world for white water rafting. Nepal's thundering rivers, coming from glaciers high in the Himalaya, provide unmatched thrills and unrivaled scenic landscapes for rafting.


TREKKING PEAKS

Over 326 peaks in Nepal are now open to foreign visitors and expeditions for a government fee. Our expedition support teams of guides, Sherpas, porters and kitchen staff are all experienced, professional and trusted individuals in logistical and operational arrangements for high Himalayan expeditions.

Jungle Safari

While the high Himalaya make up Nepal's northern region, much of the southern lowland, known as 'Terai', is covered with dense tropical jungle teeming with diverse wildlife and exotic birds. Here you will find some of the most exciting safari destinations in the world. Jungle Safari in Chitwan National Park with Gurkha Encounters.

Gurkha Encounters offers safaris going into deep jungle on elephant back or four-wheel drive vehicles to view wild animals in their natural habitat. Safaris can be the focus of your holiday or can be an interesting extension to your trekking holiday. We can also arrange canoe rides on the jungle rivers, nature walks, bird watching excursions or village tours.
