The Baraha Festival of Nepal
Baraha Chhetra Temple stands at the confluence of Koka and Sapta Koshi rivers in Nepal. It is one of the four holiest sites in the country for Hindus. Just an hour’s drive from the industrial town of Biratnagar in eastern Nepal, Bahara Chhetra can be reached by local buses that ply that route or by car. The temple can be reached only after a fifteen minute walk after the road ends but it is well worth the trip.
Trash from Nepal into Treasures
Environmental degradation is a common problem in Nepal that is fortunately being tackled by the authorities. Irresponsible mountaineers tend to leave their empty oxygen cylinders and other trash behind on the mountain slopes. This has resulted in a distressing amount of trash accumulating on the once pristine mountains such as the Mount Everest. The government has implemented stringent measures to remedy the situation. Mountaineers now have to pay a deposit when they set off on their expeditions. They forfeit the amount if they leave their trash behind. This has prevented increase in accumulation though the damage done earlier can only be rectified with a lot of effort.
Circling the Annapurna in Nepal
One of the most spectacular and rewarding regions for adventure tourism in Nepal is circling the Annapurna, among the tallest Himalayan mountains. This adventure tourism Nepal expedition will traverse four different climatic zones, from 1,500 ft or 400 m to 18,000 feet or 5,400 m and back. This is an opportunity to observe vast contrasts in landscape and vegetation and interact with ten different ethnic groups. The unbeatable experience of walking through quaint lowland villages, lush subtropical forests and the remote almost medieval Manang region and rich variety of flora and fauna is not to be missed.
Adventure Travel Being Actively Promoted in Nepal
Now that peace and stability has returned to Nepal and democracy has been restored, the tourists have returned. This lovely little country that nestles in the midst of the mighty Himalayas looks forward to increase in tourist traffic as adventure travel is the main source of income here. The people living in the mountains are more deprived than those in the valleys where there is a lot of other activity. It is these little villages in the remote mountains that look forward to lovers of adventure travel the most.
Adventure Tourism in Nepal: A River Rafting Challenge
Nothing can prepare you for the exhilaration of adventure tourism in Nepal which involves river rafting. The land is exquisitely poised between high peaks and lush vegetation. One gets the feeling that it is more than just gravity which impels the foaming water downwards and forwards. It is almost as though the water has a frenzied purpose as it spares nothing in its torrential march towards the plains of the Indian heartland.
