While in Nepal, the land of hills, waters and forests, it would be unfortunate not to experience any of the gifts that Mother Nature has bestowed. So just pack your bags and get ready for the adrenaline rush that spices up your life.
The Week has a list of five different stunts to perform that will bring an end to the routine, lethargy and monotony of your life.[break]
Canyoning
Canyoning is an activity that involves abseiling, sliding, jumping, swimming, and climbing down waterfalls through steep canyon walls to deep pools. This unique combination of skills gives the canyoneer the freedom to explore some of the most ruggedly beautiful yet forbidden places in the world. You will be traveling through jungles, off the beaten paths, over deep pools and rocks. This sport requires good navigational skills, rope work, swimming abilities, upper body strength and overall
fitness.

Mountain biking
One of the best ways to explore the country is on a mountain bike. Nepal’s diverse terrain is a mountain biker’s dream come true. Mountain biking offers an environmentally sound way of exploring this magnificent country, its landscapes and living heritage. There are plenty of dirt roads and trails in Nepal to meet every mountain biker’s wildest fantasies. Adventurous souls may even plan extended trips to exotic locales like Namche Bazaar, western Nepal, and the entire length of the country across the Tarai plains.

Bungee
Bungee jumping is an extreme sport where you jump from a stationary structure –such as a crane or bridge – high in the air while attached to an elastic rope. As you hurtle downwards, the rope will stretch and extend, slowing your descent as it does. Once you have reached the maximum stretch point of the rope, you will be fired back up into the air again, much like a human yo-yo! The thrill of hurtling through the air is for some the closest experience to human flight, and the adrenaline rush from such a fearsome activity is second to none.

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. Most of the spots are situated to the north and northwest of the valley, in the vicinity of the Nagarjun Forest and the Shivapuri 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 wilderness.

Paintball
Paintball is a more challenging and sophisticated combination of the childhood games of “tag” and “hide and seek.” Usually, a group of players will divide into two teams to play “capture the flag.” The object of the game is to go out and capture the other team’s flag while protecting your own. While you are trying to capture a flag, you also try to eliminate the opposing players by tagging them with a paintball (a round, thin-skinned gelatin capsule with colored liquid inside it) expelled from a special air gun called a “paint gun.”
