White Water Rafting In Paradise

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

Living here in far North Queensland, we are lucky enough to have some of Oz’s best white water rafting rivers all close by. In fact there isn’t anywhere else in the country that can state that they have tourist white water rafting operators doing business on 4 local rivers.

The rivers that we have close by are the Barron, Tully, Johnstone and Russell Rivers, as well as many seasonal rivers that only are accessible in the monsoon season. This definately has to make Cairns White Water rafting something unique. Both the  Barron River Whitewater rafting and Tully River Whitewater Rafting operate using whats commonly referred to as scheduled release. This is when the water is released at a scheduled time from a dam or Power Generation Station. These two are easily our most popular rivers with both full and half day tours departing daily. The Barron River has grades 2-3 rapids while the Tully has a more challenging grade of 3 to 4 and even 5 during the wet season.

The Johnstone River runs in the wettest months, but offers Heli Rafting adventure trips with up to Grade 5 rapids. This trip is quite expensive.

The Russel River offers inflatable 2 man kayaks, which is a little bit different from the more recognisable inflatable rafts, they are still loads of fun and simple to learn. This run does unfortunately have a  short walk in to the launch zone through some spectacular rainforest. The Russel River has rapids in the range of grade 2-3 with maybe a few grade 4’s during the wet season.

All fun happens under the watchful eyes of highly certified river guides, and all raft operators hold the required official licensces and Insurance. So there is nothing to fret about if you want to have a go at some white water rafting while on your vacation in Queensland.

Experience the height of Nepal through flying

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

Nepal is a country where flying a plane can be dangerous yet very exciting. Capital city Kathmandu is surrounded with high mountains and you will have to fly between mountains to a different city within Nepal. Flying experiences for me in Nepal was one of the scariest but very exciting experience I have had so far in my life. I have listed some of things you might be able to do in Nepal if you have time of course to do all of it then even better.

For site seeing of Himalaya it is wise to catch a morning flight to get a clear view of the Mountains and the Landscape. Airlines such as Tara Air and Buddha Airways provide cheap flights to different destinations of Nepal. It provides you with the opportunity to see the beautiful Landscape, Mountains and White river of Nepal. If you are travelling to a remote destination it is vital you should confirm your flight a few days earlier just because the local flights in Nepal can change in a moment’s notice.

There are also flights you can catch to the range of Everest which also includes a flight deck photo opportunity. This is one of the biggest opportunity to view the highest peak of the World. Along with all these experiences there are places where you can learn to fly a plane. Flying your own plane is just that bit more exciting than becoming a passenger to enjoy these Mountains and Landscapes.

In Nepal you will also be able to enjoy outdoor activities like trekking, white river rafting, bunjee jumping, paragliding and more. You will be able to enjoy all the above outdoor activities in a city called Pokhara. Pokhara is the second biggest city of Nepal after Kathmandu. Other than the activities there are other things you will be able to enjoy such as Wildlife in Chitwan, Highest Temple Manakamana, Ancient Palaces in Gorkha.
