Special Nepal Travel Activities

Himalayan Mahseer Fishing (Himalayan River Carp) - When the British arrived in India, they heard legends from the locals of the North Indian communities, that within the rivers coming out of (at the time forbidden) Nepal there was a fish that was pound for pound the most fierce fighter in the world. A fish, that would simply shred fishing lines, drag poles, and would refuse to get caught. The mentality of the time would allow the inquisitive traveler to try and prove the locals wrong. Little did they know, that within the Himalayan rivers, there was indeed, a fish so powerful that when caught on a line would forgo swimming downstream, would stay on objective and swim upstream to get away; upstream, of some of the most powerful rivers in the world. This is your chance to test yourself against this amazing fish. Join one of our fishing travel expeditions up the remote Himalayan rivers away from the usual tourist attractions and try your hand at the unparalleled Himalayan Masheer.

Visit Tibetan Doctor & Medicine Clinic - Tibetan Medicine has been around for thousands of years and is the science of healing that uses a holistic approach to treat illness by using different (mostly natural) ingredients. Tibetan medicine acknowledges that health and illness are both connected to the persons mind and body as well as to their environment and personal spirituality. This type of medicine seems like a perfect fit for Nepal because of its connection to body, mind, environment and spirituality. It is really popular with Nepali locals and is still considered an “off the beaten track” of travel activities in Nepal for visitors. Some chronic diseases that the medicine is particularly successful at treating (although not limited to) are: anxiety, arthritis, asthma, blood disorders, chronic digestive problems, eczema, hepatitis, liver problems, rheumatism, sinus problems, and other problems associated with the nervous system. For those traveling through Nepal and are curious or interested in this ancient type of healing and would like to see a doctor while in Nepal, let us at Avia Tours & Travel help you coordinate a visit.
