Fathers Day Adventure Gifts

Father has to be an inspiring soul on earth for every child in one way or the other. All our characters are an extract from our father initially and then it goes on to change once we grow older. So father is our first hero in life and from then onwards our life takes a full circle in this earth. So gifting such a wonderful father should always be memorable and should be encouraging his braveness. Normally gifts are heart touching but people don't really go in for gifts which are adventurous or adrenaline pumping. Heart touching gifts gives real happiness to woman but when it comes to father the gifts can also be adventurous instead of being just hear touching. Such kind of gifts are the ones that you should decide to present your dad as fathers day gifts this year.

Okay I have decided to give my father adventure gifts as fathers day gifts this year but what should I give and where should I look for the details would be the next question.

Don't worry about it I will give you tips on selecting fathers day gifts this year. The adventure gifts are nothing but real time experience into something which your father would have never been to. Say your father would have never flown in a helicopter so give him a helicopter ride as an adventurous gift. Even you can surprise him with a hot air balloon ride which many of the elderly parents would really enjoy and get excited about.

Hot air balloon ride would be the perfect thing for the whole family to enjoy and it would be a memorable experience for everybody including you. Father always wants his family to be happy and smiling and the hot air balloon ride is one place where I am sure he will definitely see each and every one of your family members happy. So gift him a balloon ride which will take your family up above the skies and helps you view your city from an angle you would have never imagined to have. Even when you go in flights you will not get such a clear view of your city from a height which the hot air balloon delivers you. This is once in a lifetime opportunity for you to fly along with your family in the skies of your city and if you present this as one of your fathers day gifts to your father he will surely be the man in the cloud nine.

This is one awesome moment in his life, imagine your father cutting the birthday cake or fathers day cake in mid air flying in air. The pleasure is insurmountable and cannot be bought with any other thing that is available in store. This is one of the exciting, adrenaline pumping and adventurous gifts that your father would have ever received and I am sure he will love you more once you gift him this. So don't just wait for the day to come go and create some memory to it.

Adventure Sport in Nepal

Nepal is quickly becoming one of the biggest adventure playgrounds in Asia. Many people travel here to discover more about the mysterious Himalaya and the beautiful culture it has to offer but more recently adrenaline junkies have been traveling to this enchanting country to get their next kick. And who can blame them; with so many sports on offer and the stunning scenery, where better to go than Nepal.


Listed below are a few of the action adventures you can expect to find in this surprising country...


Whitewater Rafting and Kayaking
Nepal has some of the best whitewater in the world, with rivers ready for first timers or experienced paddlers. Trips range from one or two days to two week expeditions, often paired with some trekking to get to the remote rivers offering a whole new experience. Depending on how daring your feeling, Nepal has rivers that will make anyone's heart beat a little bit faster!


Paragliding
Where better to go paragliding than Pokhara with a breath taking view of the Annapurna mountain range? After the takeoff (which believe me is the only scary part!) you'll be soaring in the sky with eagles weaving in and out of you.

Your only problem will be knowing where to look! With the mountains glistening in the sun on one side and the Fewa Tal lake on the other with the World Peace Pagoda looking on at you, you won't ever want to land! Most flights are half an hour tandem, but if you have more time why not learn to fly yourself? All the equipment is provided and guides are trained to an international standard. A great way to spend a morning in Pokhara.

Canyonning
Canyonning is quite a new sport to Nepal, and I must admit when I first got there I'd never heard of it before! Basically it is the sport of traveling down canyons using a variety of techniques such as walking, scrambling, climbing, abseiling and swimming.

It is one sport that will get you completely off the beaten track but does require quite a good level of fitness. There are several sites in Nepal where canyonning is available.

Rock Climbing
With endless mountains in this country, it's not really that surprising that you'll find some great places to go climbing. And you don't have to go that far to find them, even within Kathmandu there are some great little spots (have a look at Narajun forest for example). There are courses for beginners or advanced climbers. It's a great way to fill in your spare days in Kathmandu and get away from all the traffic.


Mountain Biking
Although trekking is still the most popular past time for travelers, Nepal has some of the best terrain for mountain biking. There are some incredible tracks and trails to be explored and you won't be stuck in a crowd. Depending on your fitness you can opt for a one day down hill tour, or if you're up for it a week's expedition, (thighs of steel are recommended for this though!). Bikes can be hired locally very cheaply, just make sure you spend that extra 25p and get a helmet for the day as well!


In two weeks you can get a fairly good taste for adventure in Nepal. Raft, bungee, fly, bike, climb and abseil you way around this remarkable country. Just make sure you book your trips with a safe company, when involved in these type of activities you can't afford to skimp on your safety.

Pattaya Park should be your destination if you want to experience the thrill of sliding through great heights and plunging into the pool right at the bottom. These water slides are not your average slides. They are really high and if you feel like screaming as you feel your stomach drop as you slide down, do it at the top of your lungs. Travel in Pattaya is all about letting go of your inhibitions and have thorough fun.
