Bungee Jumping in Pokhara
Search “bungee jumping in Pokhara” and results genuinely mix up three different places a local jump near Hemja, the far bigger Kusma bridge two hours west, and Bhote Koshi, which is actually near Kathmandu, not Pokhara at all. If you’re planning around this activity, sorting that out first matters more than anything else on this page.
Mary Adventure Tours arranges bungee jumping bookings from our Lakeside office mention which of these you’re after when you book, since they’re genuinely different trips with different travel time involved.
Where Bungee Jumping in pokhara Actually Happens
Bhote Koshi (~160m)
Nepal’s original bungee site, run by The Last Resort. This is near the Kathmandu Tibet highway, roughly a 3-hour drive from Kathmandu, and not something arranged from Pokhara without a significant separate trip.
Kusma (228m)
The bigger jump, over the Kali Gandaki Gorge in Parbat district, about 60km (roughly 2 hours) west of Pokhara. This is the world’s second-highest bridge-based bungee jump, and the one most Pokhara-based travelers actually mean when searching “bungee jumping near Pokhara.
Hemja/local Pokhara option (~101m)
A shorter jump closer to the city itself, roughly in the same area as the zipline’s lower station.
SAFTY & SECURITY
Is Bungee Jumping in Nepal Safe?
This comes up in search more than almost anything else about this activity, so it’s worth addressing directly rather than burying it.
Bungee jumping carries the inherent risk of any extreme activity involving free fall, but established operators at both Kusma and the local Pokhara site use certified equipment, trained jumpmasters, and standard safety protocols harness checks, weight verification, and a controlled release.
Accidents reported in Nepal’s bungee history are rare relative to the volume of jumps completed, but they’re not zero, which is a reasonable thing to weigh honestly rather than dismiss.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Questions worth asking any operator, including us, before booking: how often equipment is inspected and replaced, whether jumpmasters are certified, and what the actual weight and health screening process looks like at check-in
Nepal's adventure tourism activities, including bungee jumping operators, fall under the broader oversight of Nepal Tourism Board .
Height and What to Expect
The pokhara bungee jumping height varies significantly depending on which site you choose:
- Kusma: 228 meters — a free fall of around 4.5 seconds before the cord engages, from a suspension bridge over the Kali Gandaki Gorge.
- Hemja/local: roughly 101 meters — shorter, faster to get to, and less intense than Kusma.
- Bhote Koshi: roughly 160 meters (relevant only if your trip includes the Kathmandu area).
A shorter canyon swing is also available at the Kusma site for travelers who want the drop sensation without a straight vertical free fall.
