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.
