Overview

Bungy jumping in Nepal is not just another adventure—it’s one of the most thrilling experiences you can have in the Himalayas. Perched 160 meters above the roaring Bhote Koshi River, this jump is among the longest free falls in the world. Designed by New Zealand’s leading bungy experts and managed by professional jump masters, the experience combines international-level safety with the raw beauty of Nepal’s natural landscapes.

The location is spectacular. Just a short three-hour scenic drive from Kathmandu, you’ll find yourself at a suspension bridge hanging over one of Nepal’s deepest gorges. The bridge itself is an engineering marvel—166 meters wide, built with Swiss technology, and capable of holding up to 41,500 kg of weight. Standing there, overlooking the gorge, you’ll feel the adrenaline pumping even before you leap.

Whether you’re a first-timer or an adventure junkie, Nepal’s bungy jump offers an unforgettable rush. And if one jump isn’t enough, you can pair it with white-water rafting or canyoning nearby for the ultimate adventure day.

Itinerary

Day 1: Kathmandu – Bhote Koshi Gorge – Kathmandu
Your adventure begins in the morning as you board the Ultimate Bungy Shuttle for a three-hour scenic drive along the Arniko Highway. The road winds through green hills, local villages, and terraced fields with views of snow-capped peaks in the distance. Arriving at the famous bungy bridge near the Friendship Bridge (Nepal–Tibet border), you’ll get a full safety briefing from professional jump masters. After gearing up, it’s time for the leap of your life—a 160m free fall into the Bhote Koshi Gorge! The feeling of rushing through the air above the raging river is unforgettable. After your jump, you can relax, take photos, or even opt for an additional adventure like rafting or canyoning before returning to Kathmandu in the evening.
