Nowhere else in the world can your adventure travel bring you the delights of golf amidst the Himalaya Mountains. Originally regarded as the sport of royalty in Nepal, a number of extremely well designed golf courses have been developed in various parts of the Kathmandu and Pokhara valleys. It is believed that golf was introduced to Nepal by the princes or Ranas who returned to Nepal with golf clubs after a visit to Scotland. The royal ministers began playing golf informally on grazing fields for cows near the city called Gaucharan. This is now the location of the Radisson Hotel. The oldest formal golf course, the Nepal Golf Course was established in 1829 in Kathmandu's Til Ganga region. The first real golf tournament for the Lava Cup was started in 1920.
