INTRODUCTION
An exciting new sport, Canyoning is a cross between rappelling and caving into waterfalls. Canyoning offers a journey under an open sky into deep forested pools. Plunge down water polished chutes and abseil down waterfalls. Jump off cliffs! Climb, swim and float through an amazing world of water- sculpted rock, deep clear pools and spectacular waterfalls.
WHERE
Manali valley has abundant rivers and waterfalls. The canyon is situated in Vashisht on the Kroni Nalla. The starting point of the canyon is a 25 minute walk high above the village, with a descent of approximately 3 hours.
We, at Himalayan Yeti (HYA) are experts in Canyoning. Moreover, our aim is to allow others to discover this beautiful region without disturbing its unique landscape or its deeply spiritual population. The canyon will show you an entirely different, inaccessible face of the Kullu valley, allowing you to follow the ancient routes taken by pure, crystalline water.
Day : You need to report at our office in Old Manali at 9 or 10am
