White Water Rafting in Nepal


Hundered of visitors will trek to Nepal every year for white water rafting. The specialism of rafting that Nepal has to offer is the fact that there are rivers and rapids that range in pressure and temperature. Set within sight of Mount Everest and organised with groups of likeminded people, trekking to Nepal for the purpose of white water rafting will open you up to a level and skill of rafting that you simply cannot gain anywhere else.


 If you want to visit Nepal for rafting, going with a good trekking and touring company is highly recommended as day trips and excursions from hotels rarely give you enough time to make the most of the experience. 

 White water rafting in Nepal will start with an easy ride across lakes, as many expeditions usually start off with the easier types of rafting. You will need all of your camping gear, and safety equipment as you will be camping and trekking to different rivers as you climb up altitudes to reach greater and greater levels of white water rafting difficulty. 

A good white water rafting expedition on a Nepal trek will include other elements outside of rafting to your experience. To visit a place like Nepal which has so much to offer and not see anything outside of rivers will be a wasted trip, so if you are planning to trek to Nepal for white water rafting, be sure to book a trip that will include other elements as well. Trekking through a range of experiences not only gives you more value for money, but will also expose you to the many sights and sounds that Nepal has to offer. 
 

If you are planning to trek to Nepal choose a tour company that will take you through Kathmandu so you can absorb the many sights, sounds and flavours that the city has to offer. Make sure you have a chance to visit the Trisuli River which is a beautiful river set in warm scenery with a view of Everest in the background. Any tour company offering a visit to Chitwan National park is also worth noting, as this park is a stunning protected area where you will have an opportunity to see rhinos and tigers.

 Trekking to Nepal to white water raft with a tour company rather than going it alone is also good because many tour companies that offer the full package will be better equipped than day excursions. Camping as you go along your rafting experience with a team of likeminded people who will be part of your group makes the experience feel more complete as there are not time limits and deadlines imposed on you and no coaches to catch. 

A good Nepal tour or trekking company will also make sure that you have a chance to absorb the culture that Nepal has to offer and this usually involves a visit to Durbar Square which is a place full of valleys, temples and culture.

Planning your Blackpool stag weekends


altIf you’re looking into Blackpool stag weekends you’re likely to be surprised and encouraged by the scale of the city’s successes. It’s obviously famous for political conferences (yawn) and more recently a well coached football team (go on the Tangerines) but you might not know it’s far and away the UK’s most visited resort. Over 6 million a year at the last count! That’s not any old statistic, it’s a big deal and consequently entertainment is taken very seriously … and gentlemen we’re not just talking camp cabaret.

So what should you do on Blackpool stag weekends? What’s key in the itinerary? Where should we stay? Our team can help you with all of that and you’ll tap into some very beneficial expertise but in the meantime here are a few pointers to take on board …

Accommodation - Stay somewhere with a bit more class, the boys will be pleased to have a decent base. There’s a lot of accommodation here and much of it is priced similarly but it’s not all equal.

Activities – Pick at least one activity you and the boys will enjoy, we’d suggest two. One a little more budget sensitive and one as a cornerstone of the weekend, you definitely want to look forward to a big event. For example you could hit the track in the morning for a little competitive go karting followed by horse racing or football in the afternoon. That gents would be a very decent, group pleasing day and keep you out of the boozers until the evening, good work!

Nightlife - This will be even livelier than the activities so plan well, there’s no shortage of bars but you could also think about a comedy club and or casino on the Friday with post dinner lap dancing and VIP clubbing on the Saturday. See the rest of what’s on offer for a Blackpool stag night.

So there it is gentlemen, a few things to think about for Blackpool stag weekends and if you want to chat through ideas or recommendations just drop us a line.

Top 5 adventurous places to visit in the USA



A guest post

Adventure is now the name of the game for trips taken by the younger vacationer.  This very popular travel trend offers tourists some thrills to spice up the vacation experience. 

A country the size of the United States can offer adventure travel options to suit any budget and desire, whether you prefer fearsome roller coasters to ride, or some challenging hills to hike, the US has an adventure break for everyone.

The Adventuredome indoor theme park is located in Las Vegas’ Circus Circus and features a huge roller coaster, circus acts and 25 thrilling rides to entertain guests of all ages. The enormous Canyon Blaster roller coaster is the world’s only indoor double-loop corkscrew-shaped roller coaster, and the ride travels at highway speeds, up to 55mph! You can enjoy spacious hotel rooms and great food while cruising the strip, between your visits to the famous Adventuredome.

Everglades National Park

Move over, Mickey Mouse! Wet, wild, and full of toothsome creatures, the Everglades National Park is Florida’s real star attraction. Visitors can hike along the park trails that include boardwalks bridging alligator habitats, or take a tram around Shark Valley and get up-close-and-personal views of the native wildlife.  If close encounters of the gator kind aren’t adventurous enough for you, there’s always nearby Disney Orlando. 

Some tourists prefer their water white and crocodile-free; welcome to the thrilling whitewater rafting along the Colorado River. Crossing several states on its way to the breathtaking Grand Canyon, the Colorado provides world-class whitewater rafting of the hang-on-for-dear-life variety. Less experienced rafters might want to stick closer to the river’s source in Colorado. For a really thrilling ride, book a year in advance and ride the river through the mighty Grand Canyon. Whitewater rafting is an unpredictable and wild ride. Come prepared. You will get wet.

Yosemite National Park

Ready for a slightly less heart stopping, but nonetheless exciting adventure? Head to California’s Yosemite National Park. Yosemite has over 12 miles of paved biking and hiking trails to explore to your heart’s content. Fishing, rock climbing, and wildlife watching are all on the agenda in Yosemite. Mule deer and black bear are commonly spotted, making a Yosemite adventure vacation one to remember. Visitors will find the lodgings exquisite, with clean, spacious rooms located right in the park.

Thrilled by the thought of having chills chased up and down your spine? Whether or not you believe in ghosts, a visit to Fort Mifflin might provide more than just a lesson in Philadelphia’s history. The Fort is located on the property of the only remaining Revolutionary battlefield.  Several ghosts reportedly inhabit the Fort, scaring visitors silly with some eerie appearances.  Said to be the spiritual remains of Elizabeth Pratt, the so-called Screaming Woman is said to haunt the officer’s quarters, grieving loudly for the loss of the men at the fort. Casement 5 seems to be a frequent habitation of a faceless ghost, who wanders the grounds, perhaps looking for something he’s lost… or something he hopes to find.  Be sure of your tour guide when visiting Fort Mifflin. It seems that an entity dubbed “The Tour Guide” by locals, is apt to conduct tours when no guide is scheduled to be working.  Beware!

Best Walking, Hiking and Trekking Trips


Walking, hiking or trekking…what better way to get outdoors and experience the natural beauty of the places you visit?

Around the globe there are amazing trails to follow which will take you to beautiful and historic spots. Here are our favorites.

altGreat Britain - The British have used rambling as a way to keep fit for centuries and no wonder with so much of the land free to roam and perfect for walking. There’s a wide range of walks to choose from including coastal, forest and hilly terrain, themed walks and family walks. Areas providing exceptional scenic and historic interest along the way are the Cornish Coast, the Cotswolds, the Lake District, Welsh countryside, Scottish Highlands, Border Abbeys and the path along Hadrian’s Wall in the north of England.

altNew Zealand - This outdoor paradise has 461 tracks for you to enjoy and no natural predators to disturb you. Internationally renowned are the Milford Track, a four-day alpine trail in Fjordland National Park and Routeburn Track, two to three days between Fiordland and Lake Wakatipu on the South Island. There are plenty of others to explore along the coast, through Kauri forests and volcanic areas. Marlborough Sound is particularly picturesque along The Queen Charlotte Track. Along the way you’ll find accommodation ranging from hiking huts to luxury hotels with gourmet cuisine. Join a guided hike or venture off on your own. New Zealand certainly offers incredible variety for your outdoor adventure.

Tibet and Nepal - World class trekking takes place in these Himalayan countries where you’ll trek through rhododendron forests, Sherpa villages and glacial moraines. You can even reach a base camp on the world’s two highest mountains, Everest and K2. From easy hikes to peak climbs, you’ll see some of the most remote mountain scenery in the world.

altPeru - One of the most popular treks anywhere is the Incan Trail from Cusco to the ruins of Machu Picchu, high in the Andes. This four-day trek is steep and spectacular. Porters help carry goods and experienced guides lead the way as you follow in the footsteps of the Incas. Truly one of the most memorable trekking experiences you can have.

Alaska - Hiking is an excellent way to discover the natural beauty of the Great Land and there’s a wide variety of trails to explore. Tundra walks with views of Mt. McKinley, glacier hikes, forest and mountain trails, walks along a lake, a stream or the Inside Passage bring you close to Alaska’s pristine and remarkable nature.

altAfrica - While trekking Mount Kilimanjaro National Park, and maybe even reaching the summit of Africa’s highest peak, is high on every trekker’s list, Africa offers many other fascinating opportunities: Gorilla treks in Rwanda, hikes on and around Mt. Kenya, rainforest walks at Victoria Falls and wilderness trails in South Africa’s Kruger National Park, Drakensburg region or Cape Point are just a few of the many enticing adventures available.

Queenstown, New Zealand: An Adventure Seeker’s Paradise



If you’re an Adventure Seeker, you’ve probably exhausted the generic thrill-seeking activities like jumping out of planes. If you’re looking for an even more stimulating vacation, you must venture down to New Zealand’s South Island. I recently traveled all around New Zealand and Australia for a study abroad program, and there is no shortage of adventure here!  Especially in Queenstown - The Adventure Capital of the world. I could talk for hours on everything to do in New Zealand, but I will just highlight my most memorable moments.

My Favorite Adventure


Before New Zealand, I never thought Glacier Hiking was an activity that I could actually do. I just assumed that you had to be certified and have experience hiking in crampons (the hiking boots with metal spikes on the bottom). I highly recommend trying this out because it was like nothing else I’ve ever done. The waterfalls and views are breathtaking, and glaciers themselves are a crazy concept when you think about it. It can be warm weather, yet there is a huge chunk of ice that continues to expand and grow over time. Glacier hiking is exhilarating, yet it can be very dangerous and extreme caution should be taken. It is not your average hike up a hill. They have a lot of crevasses, which if you slip and fall into one, it will most likely result in death. The strength of the ice can change over the day depending on the sun, and river underneath the glacier would not be good for swimming. Traveling with a guide who knows the ins and outs of the glacier is your best bet of avoiding any mishaps.

My Best Story

Every trip has that one story that will be with you for the rest of your life. Mine is about my time on the Rangitata River. I have gone whitewater rafting many times, and thought it would be a breeze. First of all, we decided to move the trip up a day early because it was raining at the top of the river, so the water level was rising quickly. If we waited, the levels would have been too high and dangerous to go.  So instead we went at the highest water level possible. I was with a group of 30 college students who most have never been white water rafting, but were eager to try out the Grade Five rapids. (Most places in the U.S. you must be certified to do anything higher than a Grade Three.) Grade Five rapids are for highly advanced and experienced whitewater rafters. The highest level is a Grade Six, which is considered to be so dangerous that successful completion without death or a serious injury is considered to be great luck.
Whitewater rafting on the Rangitata

Long story short, we were not prepared for such a trip down the Rangitata. It was great until a couple of our group’s rafts flipped, people were ejected out of the rafts, and left to float down the river on their own. They were mostly just in shock from the freezing cold water and being bumped around by the strong waves forcing them along a rocky path. Our raft also flipped, and I can honestly say I have never had a near death experience until this. My raft-mates and I all were short of air, had troubles breathing, and struggled to hold onto the raft when we were submerged underwater. When I finally went up for air, we were still going very fast and the raft was headed straight for the large rock ejecting out from the canyon wall. Thankfully I was wearing a helmet or the damage could have been far worse. The rock bruised my left cheekbone severely as well as chipped off my front tooth and shifted it backwards. In the end, I only had to have a root canal and other dentistry work done once I got back in the States. I don’t know what was more scary, thinking I was going to die from drowning or having my face slammed against a rock.

No one else in my group was hurt (besides bruised parts and scrapes), and it is very rare that things like this happen. When considering these very adventurous activities, you must always assess the risks and know the dangers ahead of time. This was a mistake our group made because we were clearly not qualified for Grade Five rapids, especially at the highest possible water-level. Although my experience may not have persuaded you to hop on the next whitewater rafting tour, I still strongly recommend giving it a try! Just be sure to do your research, as you are the best judge on how qualified you are.

Other Adventures to Check Out
  • Bungee Jumping - New Zealand is the birthplace of bungee jumping, and it definitely lives up to its high expectations. There is so much to learn about their Bungee Jumping Culture if you visit.
  • Canyoning - The new thing! Go on a canyoning tour and you can do anything from climbing, jumping, swimming, swinging, or flailing in and out of canyons.
  • Skydiving - You can skydive anywhere essentially, but the reason you’d want to do it in New Zealand over anywhere else is for the striking view. You’ll see snow, the bluest of blue waters, and the greenest of green hills.
  • Lord of the Rings Tour - If you’ve seen the movies, now you can see where they took place in real life! I got to see some of the locations where they filmed the movies as well as the Chronicles of Narnia.  Words or video cannot describe how beautiful the scenery is in person.
  • Whale Watching - A great way to spend your morning is on a boat chasing whales and watching them breach for air. If you don’t want to necessarily see whales, I definitely recommend getting out on the water somewhere in New Zealand, because the color and ocean-life is astonishing.


While you’re down there, you may as well hop on the 2 hour flight over to Sydney. This was actually the most fun I’ve ever had on a flight. We flew Air New Zealand, and the flight kicked off with the best In-Flight Safety Video I’ve ever seen. The video’s theme was all about Rugby and even featured a streaking grandma. The flight also offered a rather tasty meal (for airplane food), ice cream, and of course unlimited beverages. After all of the wine drinking, it seemed that the line to the bathroom got very long, so people started mingling in the isle and just chatted it up. Who knew a 2 hour flight could be such a party!

New Zealand caters to the adventure pros, and even the adventure newbies. You’ll want to try it all when you’re down there, so plan accordingly! If their attractions aren’t enough to get you there, the people are the true heart and spirit of the country. New Zealand was also ranked as the best place to live for escaping world conflict. Every Kiwi I met truly embraced life to the fullest. I only grazed the surface on adventure in New Zealand, but that just means you’ll have to travel there to find out for yourself!

d) Kaudiyala: Are you a Rishikesh rafting veteran? If so, spend a few days here where you can try your skills at riding the famous Grade 5 rapid called ‘The Wall'. But be warned: minor accidents such as flipping over of the raft are quite common in this stretch.

e) Rudraprayag: Situated at the confluence of the rivers Alakananda and Mandakini, this stretch of water is spread over 150 kms to Rishikesh, guaranteeing plenty of wet and fun-filled action.

Although having fun is important, don't forget these handy tips on your white water rafting trip:

- Don't forget your sunscreen and hat to keep sunburn away if you have scheduled your trip during summer.
- Carrying a dry bag with you for keeping your personal items safe is advisable. Leave valuable items like your mobile phone and wallet behind.
- Whether you are a beginner or an expert, taking an experienced and certified guide along with you for every trip is a must.
- Unless you are experienced at rafting yourself, stick to Grade I or Grade II rapids as they are much easier to handle.
- If you are going on your first rafting in Rishikesh trip, sign up for a few induction classes with a certified white water rafting guide.
