Bhote Koshi Bungee Jumping is one of the most exhilarating adventure activities in Nepal, offering thrill-seekers a heart-pounding experience amidst stunning natural surroundings. Located near the Tibetan border, about a 3-4 hour drive from Kathmandu, this bungee jump site is famous for being one of the highest bungee jumps in Asia. The Bhote Koshi River, known for its fast-flowing waters and challenging rapids, adds to the scenic backdrop, making the jump an unforgettable adventure.
The Bungee Jump Experience
The Bhote Koshi bungee jump stands at an impressive height of 160 meters (524 feet) above the Bhote Koshi River Gorge. The jump takes place from a suspension bridge, designed by Swiss engineers to international standards, ensuring safety and reliability. The jump begins as you step onto the bridge, with breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and the rushing river below.
Once you are ready, you'll be strapped into a full-body harness and ankle ties, with a highly experienced crew providing detailed instructions and safety guidelines. As the countdown begins, adrenaline takes over, and before you know it, you’re leaping off the platform into the void. The freefall lasts for about 3-4 seconds, with the sensation of flying heightened by the stunning views around you. The jump ends with the bungee cord stretching and bouncing you back, followed by a gradual slowdown until you are safely lowered onto a platform near the riverbank.
