Financial Times-How to Spend It
The water in the canyons is responsible for determining the wetsuit needed. The water temperature inside the canyons is usually colder. In general, a Dual 5mm thick wetsuit usually is the perfect choice so that the top and lower parts of the wetsuit accommodate your needs if you do not go through water and its warner inside the canyon. One suit recommended from different canyoneering is MARES 5mm.

Are there dangers or risks in canyoning?

One of the worst consequences of canyoning is the fact that many canyons are difficult to rescue those in trouble, due to their remoteness from several hours or several days. Escaping from the sides of the canyon is often impossible. The canyons with significant water flow can be hazardous requiring the canyoneer to have a full working experience in ropework techniques to maneuver themselves to safety. The water can present with several risky conditions such as undercurrents, and hydraulics which can trap or wall off the cannoneer causing death.
Canyons are also known for their flash floods taking a cannoneer by total surprise and can rise quickly. Even a dry canyon can become a violent torrent should a violent thunderstorm be taking place nearby. Fatalities have occurred as a result of such flash floods. Another canyoning illness is hypothermia and hyperthermia, and cannoneers should be sure to be prepared for either condition.
Many dangers surround extreme sports adventures, but if you are an enthusiast who must challenge nature for that rush in emotion, then please be sure to know the ins and outs of each sport you plan to enjoy, so memories are great ones and not of sad endings.
Just a final thought:

Canyoning in Nepal is an amazing full-body workout as well as one that challenges your mind. You will have the opportunity to see up close the last of Himalayan forbidden places.
You will experience most of the many other sport challenges such as jumping, sliding down canyon walls, or waterfalls. Can you imagine seeing yourself rappelling down to deep pools below and diving into pristine pools of turquoise water? Tired of the hustle and bustles of everyday life? Take your mind and see yourself in the cool or cold water splash across the face. It is one of the rewards after the handwork of repelling from the top of the waterfall. If so, this is one must-do for that adrenaline rush you are longing to experience. If you ask a travel agent how they would describe the challenges of sports adventures, here is the reply I have heard from many: When you visit Nepal, you can enjoy the beauty of Himalayan Mountain caves, canyons, waterfalls, rivers, dense forest, and rolling hills, coming away as an experienced canyoneer. You can also experience many other sports activities which will provide you with the thrill Nepal has to offer. It is a tourist-friendly kingdom in all of Nepal.
Some canyons can be found extremely rough. You may feel it should be passed for one to consider exploring. But, it all depends on the current water level. You also need to consider other attributes of the canyon such as access to the canyon, the height difference between entry and exit points, the vertical arrangement, and the route of evacuation.
