Long a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts, Nepal (and especially Pokhara) is now developing into a kind of big Outward Bound centre. Operators are set up to offer just about every kind of outdoor pursuit - not only trekking and climbing but also rafting, kayaking, mountain-biking, bird-watching and more.
Many travellers come to Nepal specifically to try these activities for the first time. And why not: if you're going to learn to climb or kayak or mountain bike, why not do it in the most spectacular place in the world for it, the Himalaya? Many packages are built around instruction for first-timers, with all equipment provided. On top of that, prices are quite cheap by international standards Other useful information
