Bungee Jumping in Nepal

Bungee jumping in Nepal is an excellent sport for all adventure and thrill lovers. Bungee jumping was started in Nepal two decades ago by a New Zealander after exploring the most beautiful spot, 160 m over the wild Bhote Koshi River.

With suitable geographical settings, Nepal is gradually moving forward in adventure tourism. Deep river gorges, mountains, and high hills have proven to be the best-suited place for bungee jumping in Nepal. Considered to be one of the highest bungee jumps in the world, Nepal bungee jumping is safe and 100% thrill guaranteed. Adventure sports in Nepal offer Bungee jumping in the Bhote Koshi river gorge located North East from the capital city of Kathmandu, roughly 90 km away near the china border. The next option for bungee is a newly established tower-based bungee jump located in the most beautiful city Pokhara, 200 km west of Kathmandu. The last option is the Kushma bungee jump, only 60 km from Pokhara.

A. Bungee jump at Bhote Koshi

Three hrs drive from Kathmandu takes you to a resort, The Last Resort, which operates the Bhote Koshi bungee jump. It is by far the most exciting place for adventure lovers in Nepal. The jump occurs from a 166 m wide steel suspension bridge over the famous Bhote Koshi River, which the Swiss company kiwis designed. The exact free fall altitude is 160 m deep from the bridge and assures international safety precautions. The secret behind the popularity of this bungee jump is not only the thrill behind the jump but also the diverse resources around, i.e., Bhote Koshi river, forest, cliffs, people, lifestyle, culture and other adventures.

B. Pokhara Bungee jump

Pokhara city is Nepal’s most happening and beautiful city, located 200km west of Kathmandu. This city is also the gateway to the famous Annapurna conservation project.

Operated by High Ground Adventures, this is the only tower Bungee jump in Nepal with 70 meters of height and 3 seconds of free fall, which is operated with safety standards. The location of this Tower Bungee also facilitates the fantastic view of the Annapurna mountain range.

The 2 districts are connected by a 520-meter-long suspension bridge over Kaligandaki river, where the jump is operated. Kushma bungee is very close to Pokhara, only 60 km distance and can be reached within 2 hours of driving time.
