Description

The ultimate thrill of a Bungy jump can now be experienced in Nepal at perhaps the best site in the world. Nepal's first bungy jumping site is situated 160m over the wild Bhote Kosi river, and located close to the Nepal-Tibet border, a three-hour bus ride from Kathmandu. The jump, at 160m, was designed by one of New Zealand’s leading bungy consultants, and is operated by some of the most experienced jump masters in the business. It's mishap-proof. The bungy agency takes safety first very seriously.

You leave Thamel at 6:00AM on a nice bus with your fellow jumpers and those packed to stay a few nights. The journey is about 3.5 hours with a couple of tea-breaks along the way. When we reach the resort – you can see the bridge 5 minutes before arriving! – we’ll introduce you to the bungy staff, give you a safety briefing, weigh you and give you a time slot. Then all you have to do is maintain mental calm until your turn! And don’t forget lunch!
