Best Time for Canyoning
The best time for canyoning in Nepal is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. During these periods, the weather is stable, and the water levels are ideal for canyoning. Monsoon season (June to August) can make canyoning dangerous due to high water levels and strong currents.

Trip Reviews
Did canyoning and a one day Trisuli rafting trip, with an overnight stay at their campsite. Canyoning was great fun, and conducted professionally with utmost attention to safety. Instructors are encouraging and make sure you are comfortable with what you are doing.
The campsite is very well managed and they even have pool to cool down in summer. The dining hall was great with candle light and excellent music! The staff made sure we were well taken care of and the food was great! The tent was also nice with comfortable mattresses inside.
Thank you TTG for great trips! WE will come back for another adventure soon!

Additional Information
This is ADVENTURE travel, and many of the destinations on this site are in remote, underdeveloped areas where unpredictability is the norm. Despite careful planning and organization, our adventure trips can’t be taken for granted like regular trips. Many of the places we visit lack the emergency health and safety services you’re used to in the developed world. Internal flights can be canceled, road transport is often uncomfortable and unreliable, and hotel standards may not match those of the West.
If you’re not prepared for this, you shouldn’t travel with us. The unpredictability also means that our itineraries are statements of intent, not contractual obligations. Factors such as weather, transport difficulties, and political instability might require us to change any itinerary. The trip leader will make any necessary changes after consulting with the group. Such changes are rarely significant, and we always do our best to minimize their impact. However, we cannot be held responsible for changes or delays, regardless of their cause.
