Bungy Jumping

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 over the wild Bhote Koshi River, and located close to the Nepal-Tibet border, a three-hour bus ride from Kathmandu. As of now, there is only one agency offering this sport. The jump, at 160m, was designed by one of New Zealand's leading bungee consultant, and is operated by some of the most experienced jump masters in the business. Less than 3 hours outside Kathmandu by Ultimate Bungee Shuttle. You will travel the Araniko (Kathmandu/Lhasa) Highway to within 12 km of the Tibet Border and the famous Friendship Bridge.

The Gorge:

Ultimate Bungee Nepal takes place on a 166m wide steel suspension bridge over the Bhoti Koshi River. The bridge was designed by the Swiss, especially for bungee jumping with a 4x safety 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 tones. 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.
