Summary
'Elements' brings together a host of exhilarating activities in Nepal. This is an action-packed fortnight comprising adventure and epic Himalayan scenery - strap yourself in!

Trip Description
The elements of 'air', 'water' and 'earth' are mixed together in this unique blend of adventure. From the raging rapids of the Bhote Khosi River to jungle safari lodges on the Terai, this trip covers the breadth of Nepal and the best in adventure.

After sampling the delights of the capital city, we head north towards Tibet, to the 'Last Resort' - home of the Ultimate Bungy Experience. Plunging 500 feet (160m) into the Bhote Kosi gorge, we experience the world's deepest and most spectacular bungy jump. Overnight we stay in a lush jungle lodge, suspended dramatically on a cliff-top above the Bhote Khosi gorge. The next day, we jump into rafts as we take on the turbulent Class IV/V waters of the Bhote Kosi. With 'boulder gardens', small waterfalls, steep chutes and 90-degree bends, this is a technical river requiring an active crew.

The following day we experience the rush of 'canyoning', as we abseil, climb, jump, swim and slide down steep canyon walls and waterfalls.

Returning to Kathmandu, we have a days rest. After an optional early morning flight around Mount Everest, we head to the lush foothills of the Annapurna range, and the idyllic lakeside town of Pokhara. Here we soak up a bit of R&R, before taking off in a microlight or a paraglider for an exhilarating flight and stunning views of four 8,000m peaks. Or for a totally unique experience take a tandem Parahawking flight.

We then head off on a four-day camping trek to Poon Hill. This trek takes us into an area of outstanding natural beauty, where we are afforded dramatic views of the Annapurna range. As we ascend through rhododendron and magnolia forests, we are spoilt with unobstructed views of Dhaulagiri, Tukuche, Nilgiri, Annapurna I and Annapurna South.

The final section of our trip takes us to Chitwan National Park where tiger, rhino and elephant roam the plains. We stay in beautiful and comfortable surroundings inside the park, from where we take excursions on foot, elephant-back and canoe to explore the region and the wildlife.
