Nepal is a country with mountains, rivers, and temples. There is so much to explore in Nepal—from the picturesque Himalayan views and the soothing sound of the river to the sanctity of the temples and the wealth of wildlife—that a single trip will not be enough to take it all in. Every traveler can find something to enjoy there, and you'll never be dissatisfied. In addition, it provides delectable meals and a variety of shopping options. Go bungee jumping in Nepal if you want to experience some excitement there. It is one of the activities that has rapidly increased in popularity over the past few years among all of Nepal's activities. Both locals and visitors participate in the activity to experience pure joy from head to toe.

Bungee Jumping in Nepal: Best Spots

The stunning scenery in Nepal makes it a fantastic location for bungee jumping. There are just a few locations where it is possible to do so. Additionally, bungee jumping costs in Nepal are unimportant if you want to pamper yourself.

1. The BhoteKoshi Gorge:

The Bhote Koshi gorge in Nepal was the first location where bungee jumping was ever practiced. And today, it is one of the most well-known bungee jumping locations in the entire globe. The gorge is close to the Nepal-Tibet border and is 160 meters in height. The fact that it is the highest bungee jump in both Nepal and the entire world distinguishes it. The Bhote Koshi river, which flows below the jump, will provide you with additional enjoyment. The jump is made from Nepal's longest suspension bridge, which is also a bridge. The bridge was specifically created by a renowned Bungee consultant from New Zealand. Isn't it just incredible? This is not it, though. To ensure that you have the best possible jumping experience, the leap is carried out under the guidance of qualified operators. The bridge not only makes you feel heart-pounding, but it also guarantees your safety.

2. Hemja, Pokhara:

One of the most well-known locations in Nepal for engaging in the most daring activities in Pokhara. It offers a variety of activities, including paragliding, zip lining, trekking, and more. Since being included to this list in 2014, bungee jumping has become the most well-known excursion in Pokhara. Since you can really touch the water of a pond below the jumping point, the jump is known as the "Water Touching Jump." You must have this one-of-a-kind experience at least once in your life. There is a steel cliff near a Tibetan camp in the Kaski district from which you will leap. There is an artificial pond that is 20 meters deep and it can reach heights of up to 80 meters. The activity can be enjoyed by 30 to 40 individuals in a single day. Touching the water below after you jump will make your heart pound like never before. The surroundings are really beautiful, which will increase the excitement. The experience will be extraordinary whether you leap alone or with a friend. You will initially float in the air after leaping off the cliff before splashing into the water below. When you're finished, a boat will come and get you. Your awe at the experience will be overwhelming!

3. Kushma Bungee:

With a height of 228 meters, Kushma Bungee Jump is both the second-highest bungee jump in the world and the highest in Nepal. The Nepalese district of Kushma and Baglung are separated by the Kushma Bungee jump location. The 520 Meter Suspension Bridge in the George of Kaligandaki River connects these two regions. In addition to this, there are two other bungee jump locations in Nepal: The Last Resort and High-ground Bungee Jump, which are located at respective heights of 70 and 160 meters. After the 232-meter-high AJ Hackett Macau Tower Bungy Jump, The Bungee Jump of Kushma is home to the second-highest bungee jump in the world. Nepal's bungee jump fee is affordable and convenient when compared to these two bungee leaps. After your hike is over, you can include a day of activities at Kushma Bungee.

The good news for bungee enthusiasts is that Kushma Bungee Jumping is only 60 KM away from Pokhara. From Pokhara, it can be visited in two hours. Since the road is now being maintained by the government and is rather narrow in comparison to other roads, it may soon make for the ideal scenic drive tour for tourists.

Bungee Jumping in Nepal: Equipment’s

Bungee Cords: Bungee cords are rubber strands that come in a variety of sizes and shapes. The quantity of cables used is determined by the tour operator and the participant's weight before the jump. Military safety regulations state that there should be one cord for every 50 lbs. (22.67 kg)

Harness: There are two different kinds of harnesses: full body and ankle. Two components make up the entire-body harness; one is worn on the chest like a vest and the other is worn around the waist like a pair of shorts. Your ankles are secured with the ankle harness.

Bungee Jumping in Nepal: Best Season

Bungee jumping is a year-round activity that only stops when it rains. Due to the dry and temperate weather, March through May and September through November are the ideal times to go bungee jumping in Nepal. Even if the travel organization offers bungee jumping, avoid the monsoon season because the weather can change quickly.

Bungee Jumping in Nepal: Cost

The pricing is only made available during the first three months of bungee jumping for certain nationalities. While foreigners must spend $80 per person for a bungee jump, Nepalese nationals can experience the thrill of only NPR 7000 per person. In addition, it costs an additional NPR 1500 to collect a film, a photo, and a t-shirt for memories. Please be aware that the price listed above does not cover lodging or transportation.
