Nepal is located in a mainland territory between India and China. The country doesn’t have access to the sea but it has large mountain areas, 9 national parks, and 3 national reserves. Almost 20% of the country’s territory is protected by the government. In local national parks, tourists can participate in safaris on all-terrain vehicles, on their foot, and even on elephants. Chitwan is one of these parks. An elephant excursion in the tropical jungle is a truly mesmerizing activity, so no wonder why so many tourists choose to try it.

All of them are higher than 8,000m, with Mount Everest (8,848m) being the highest and most famous. Alpinists prepare for each expedition for a long time. Besides the skills and physical form, they need to have a permit to climb the mountain. The price of this permit can be up to several thousand dollars.

Canyoning is active recreation without any excessive physical exercise, but it is great for obtaining some knowledge in alpinism.
