Mt. Everest seems to get most of the credit for bringing in extreme sportsmen and adventurous. And it’s hard to miss as this majestic mountain rises from sea level to 29,000 ft. That’s a tall order for a tiny kingdom that is only 100 km wide. But, what Nepal lacks in size, it make up for with some of the most incredible and challenging mountain climbing, jungle walking and whitewater rafting in the world, all the while keeping your eyes peeled for tigers, rhinos, sloth bears and monkeys that draw adventure lovers from around the world.

Karnali River springs from a sacred river in Tibet, Mount Tailash, the center of the universe for Buddhists and Hindus alike. The Karnali travels south to Tibet where it snakes through breathtaking canyons and remote jungle areas, all the while providing rafting enthusiasts “a thrill a minute.”
