Hardcorenepal.com team on Rock Climbing web site!


The Hardcore Nepal team is featured on the home page of Rockclimbing.com.   This photo was taken on a training day when our climbing guru Endra Rai, was teaching us some new tricks.  Endra is a great climber (and Everest summiter) and technique is very important to him.  He doesn't just climb a rock, he sort of dances up the rock face in a routine he likens to Tai Chi.   

Currently, Ramesh and Pasang are practicing for the rock climbing competition in Kathmandu on July 24th.  They are both strong climbers and they are sure to do well.    Check on Hardcorenepal.com after the 24th to find out how they did!

Getting ready for Kayaking Trips starting Sep 2009!




We are getting all are gear together and are really excited about the upcoming season.  Hardcore is going to be the first to offer these extreme kayak expeditions.  We got the idea because, so many people who were doing the rafting were looking for a bigger challenge.  Plus, the kayak groups give you the freedom to explore a little more.  There is no hand-holding here; you must already be a kayaker to take our trips.  

The rapids are amazing and the camping is awesome.   We're just waiting to see if the real monsoon will come to know what kind of water we will have in September.  

Right now Ramesh is scouting some new canyons along the Trisuli River, and we want to be the first to offer a Canyoning & Rafting combo in Nepal.  He found some amazing waterfalls with pools at the bottom that our hardcore adventurers will love.  

He thinks for season 2 (Spring), he wants to show people how to hunt for their own food in the jungle.  Based on some of the things he's eaten... anyone who can handle the same is SUPER HARDCORE!  He's nuts! That's why we love him.
