The most basic adventure is hiking. Hiking can be plotted more like a fun activity rather than a daring one. What would you do when you hike? As everyone knows, you just walk observing the scenery. Hiking can be for a day or overnight. It is up to you which one you choose, but basically, it is the easiest providing adequate relaxation. Also, it could grant you a fair shake to expect the high Himalayas up close.

Geeks eager for the water adventure, this is for you. Rafting is the most thrilling water adventure performed in the white water of Nepal which has constant waves and high-level rapids.
