A waterfall in the canyoning country above Pokhara

Canyoning near Pokhara

Abseil and slide down a monsoon-fed canyon.

The canyons above Pokhara run with clear water most of the year. A guided descent mixes abseiling down the falls, short jumps into pools, and natural slides, at a pace the group is comfortable with.

No experience is needed, just a reasonable head for heights. The team fits you with a wetsuit, harness, and helmet and walks you through each drop.

Highlights
  • Abseil down waterfalls with a trained team
  • Jumps and natural slides into clear pools
  • All technical gear and a wetsuit included
