Canyoning

This exciting sport is a wild combination of rappelling/abseiling,climbing,sliding and swimming that has been pioneered in the canyons and waterfalls near The Last Resort and Borderlands.

The Last Resort uses Panglong canyon early in  the season and to train novices.After December the action moves to higher and more exciting canyons such as Kanglang,Kahule and Bhukute(a 60m drop), once the water flow has subsided to safe levels.Canyoning is not possible during the monsoon.

Borderlands uses Old and New Jumbo canyons.Old Jumbo(also called Big Jumbo)is the more challenging of the two(only possible from late November)and involves a flying fox cable ride across the Bhote Kosi River and then a 30-minute walk up to the first of four waterfalls and short water slide.

It's best to bring a pair of closed-toe shoes that can get wet as these are better than sandals.Hiking shoes,a water bottle and bathing suits are also required and a waterproof camera is a real bonus.After November,wetsuits are a must and are provided.
