Canyoning in Nepal

I went canyoning what my friend Gaultier just outside of KTM two days ago, and I must say, I think I have found my new love. Canyoning is basically abseiling (think reverse moutnain climbing) down waterfalls, and what can only be described as extreme walking. We donned wetsuits, helmets and thick canvas diapers, enabling us to slide down smoothed granite rocks like children invincibly wrapped in protective styrofoam. We James Bonded our way down 40 meter waterfalls, the pressure of the water pressing you down, left right, into deep pools. You drop trustfully out over the cliff, leaning out, feet at 90 degrees. I'm so accusotmed to stepping down, it tok a few pitches to trust my feet upon a vertical surface. All I wanted to do was leap out over the gushing falls, opushing hard against the slippery moss ocvered walls and float out romantically over the mist, only to slip and land violently, crashing deep into the powerful gush of the water. I laughed my way down the cliff side, and am now addicted. After three hours like this, we took off the wet clothes and bathed in the warming sun on a granite slab overlooking the KTM valley like lizards. Amazing experience. Ill post pictures so you can get a better idea of what we were up to.
