Sport Tourism is emerging as one of the fastest growing sectors of the international travel and tourism industry. Large scale International sporting events like FIFA World Cup, Asian Games, Olympics etc has resulted in earning huge tourism revenue  for the host countries. Nepal with its rough terrain and high mountains is a prized destination for holding adventure sporting events. Explore Himalaya, in keeping up with the trend, is involved in organizing high adventure sports events in Nepal.
