If you thought bungee jumping was
restricted to some places in Europe, New Zealand and
America, it's time you got and update. The sport has
finally found a natural home in the highest mountain
range in the world. 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 to the
Nepal-Tibet border, a three-hour bus ride from
Kathmandu. As can be arranged on arrival in 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 consultants, and is operated by some of
the most experienced jump masters in the business. It's
mishap-proof. The agency takes safety "very, very
seriously". |

Location : Less than 3 hours outside
Kathmandu by Ultimate Bungy Shuttle. You will travel the
Arniko (Kathmandu/Lhasa) Highway to within 12km of 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. |
