Bungee Jumping In Nepal

If you think bungee jumping is restricted to some places in Europe, New Zealand and America but in Nepal the sport has finally found a natural home for adventure-seekers.

The ultimate thrill of a bungee jump can now be experienced in Nepal at perhaps the best site in the world.

Nepal's first bungee jumping site is situated 160m over the wild Bhote Koshi river, and located close tothe Nepal-Tibet border, a three-hour bus ride from Kathmandu. The jump, at 160m, was designed by one of New Zealand's leading bungee consultants, and is operated by some of the most experienced jump masters in the business. We take safety "very, very seriously".

Location: Less than 3 hours' drive outside Kathmandu, you will travel the Arniko (Kathmandu/Lhasa) Highway to the Tibet Border and the famous Friendship Bridge.

The Gorge: Ultimate Bungy Nepal takes place on a 166m wide steel suspension bridge over the Bhoti Kosi River.

The Bridge: Swiss designed, specially for bungy jumping with a 4x saftey factor. The bridge has a loading factor of 250kg per running meter. This means that the bridge will hold 250 x 166 = 41,500kg or 4.5 tonnes. And... those are Swiss measurements! * Over 6000 meters of steel wire was used to build the bridge * Longest suspension bridge in Nepal * The bridge joins two sides of a great valley. Before its construction, locals walked five hours to cross this river gorge.
