Bungee Jumping
Overview
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 160 meter over the wild Bhote Koshi river, and located close to the Nepal-Tibet border, a three-hour bus ride from Kathmandu.
The jump, at 160 m, 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 : Eastern Nepal Less than 3 hours from Kathmandu in the Arniko (Kathmandu/Lhasa) Highway to within 12 km of the Tibet Border and the famous Friendship Bridge.
The Gorge: 166 meter wide steel suspension bridge over the Bhote Koshi River.
The Bridge : Swiss designed, specially for bungee jumping with a 4 x safety factor. The bridge has a loading factor of 250 kg per running meter. This means that the bridge will hold 250 x 166 = 41,500 kg 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.
The Jump:
This bungy jump in Nepal may be the most spectacular bungy jump on the Planet. This remarkable 500 ft (160 m.) drop into the Bhote Koshi River gorge on the Nepal/Tibet Border is the longest free fall in the world.
