Siddha Cave or commonly known as Siddha Gufa is situated in Bandipur, Tanahu District, Nepal. If you ever find yourself in Bandipur, a visit at this cave is well worth it.
Give yourself the opportunity to get in touch with the largest cave in Nepal and the second largest cave in south Asia and let your wild imagination lead you in an exciting underworld setting. If you decide to make this dream come true, at Bandipur you will find schools that offer you a 2 day journey in this highly sought after cave.
The first day of your trip includes a visit in Bimalnagar, located close to Pokhara and Bandipur. Here you will have the opportunity to climb and enjoy a delicious dinner. Now get prepared for the second day of your trip. Once you arrive at the holy Siddha Cave, you come across to some holy shrines and amazing stalactites. If you want to push yourself into an extreme situation, you can choose to abseil at 70 m/ 229 ft into the inner-side of the cave. If you don’t feel that confident, you can always explore the cave by walking through its every corner.
Apart from its unusual beauty and natural heritage, Siddha Cave offers you stunning views of the Annapurna mountain range and Marsyangdi River valley. In the vicinity, you will find many other places, where you can have fun and enjoy yourself as well.
In addition, if you think that 2 days are not enough, don’t hesitate to ask for some more days and achieve to fulfill the plans that you have in your mind. So, for taking part in both caving and climbing, it is advisable to wear flexible but fitting clothes, avoid to wear rings or bracelets, wear sport shoes/hiking shoes and always bear with you a change of clothes. Last but not least, do not forget to bring with you water and some extra money for grabbing a snack.
So, if you are looking for a lifetime experience, Nepal is waiting for you to discover it!

The best DAY TRIP in Nepal. Abseiling down awesome waterfalls!!! Jalberi Canyon is the best canyoning spot in Nepal and the canyoning site is in a small village called Jalberi, offering great day trips from Kathmandu, Chitwan or Pokhara or a great addition to your kayaking or rafting trip on the Trisuli. No previous experience needed to join as we can teach you everything you need to know and have all the right equipment and expertise to keep you safe and show you a great time. All you need is good attitude and sense of adventure!
Trip departs from Kathmandu at 6.30am almost all year round (arrangements can be made from Pokhara or Chitwan on request and we take a short break during the monsoon months when the water is too high).
Once we get there, we will change at a small house at the bottom of the hill. There will be time for a quick cup of tea before a 20 min hike to the top where you will be greeted with a 100m waterfall, one of the most beautiful places in Nepal. Whilst your guides get all the equipment ready, you’ll have time for a photo opportunity under the epic waterfall or a quick dip in some of the natural pools. You will then be provided with a harness, life jacket and helmet and after a comprehensive safety briefing we’ll start teaching you how to climb and abseil and we are ready to go…
The trip starts with a jump into the canyon, it will get your heart beating right from the very beginning!
The largest waterfall we run is around 26 m. Sometimes we slide and sometimes we jump directly into the clear pools. After around 3 1/2 hours of adrenaline fueled fun we’ll stop for a picnic lunch in the canyon before we drive back to Kathmandu, Chitwan or Pokhara or if you prefer, come and spend a great night at our Trisuli River Camp, Gurung Valley. A trip definitely not to be missed!!!

Trisuli River Rafting is one of Nepal’s most popular river trips, ideal for everyone, from the most experienced kayaker to the first time rafter. It is also our home as we have built our fixed riverside camp.
It’s an ideal year round river (even during monsoon) just a stones throw away from Kathmandu providing a pool drop style of big volume river. This rafting trip will quench the white water desire of travelers with limited time in Nepal.
This trip leaves plenty of time to play rafting games, do some cliff jumps, swim, chill out and soak up the surreal atmosphere of Nepal’s River life. It conveniently ends at our tented river side camp, Gurung Valley. Why not extend your trip and enjoy a night at our 1 million star hotel and soak up as much river life as you can! Get off the bus and on the river!
Join us for some monsoon rafting to see how fierce this river can really get!
Whitewater Rafting: No previous experience needed to join a rafting trip on the Trisuli. Great for the first timer and families.
Kayaking: A fantastic warm up river for those going on to the bigger rivers in Nepal. Plenty of small rapids and a few challenging ones. The river is ideal for first time kayakers wanting to learn a thing or two about whitewater.

Kayaking 4-Day Beginner Course, Trisuli River
/
Kathmandu, Nepal
DURATION: 4 days
DEPARTS & RETURNS: Departs: Our office, Thamel, Kathmandu at 6.30am daily – Returns: Our office, Thamel, Kathmandu at 7pm (Pokhara on request).
FROM / TO: Gurung Valley, riverside resort. We run a variety of sections of the river
BEST SEASON: September until June (not July and August due to monsoon high water)
Itinerary: Depart Kathmandu at 6.30am and travel to 3 ½ hours to our camp. Once arriving, we will have a stop of lunch and get to know the staff. After you will be given your equipment and shown how to use it and after a briefing on land we hit the water. We will then spend the afternoon on a flat section of the river just outside the camp, which is more like a lake than a river – just perfect for beginners. We will spend time getting used to being in a kayak, how it feels and learning how to cross the river, building your confidence as we go.
Depending on how you improve, if there is time, we will paddle 7km down the river to Manakamana. Here you will encounter some gentle wave trains and Grade II rapids.
You’ll spend the evening enjoying a campfire at the camp. Stories round the fire and traditional music are on the menu for tonight!
