Bungee Jumping In Nepal
Bungee jumping (or bungy jumping) is an activity in which a
person jumps off from a high place (generally of several hundred meters/feet)
with one end of an elastic cord attached to his/her body or ankles and the other
end tied to the jumping-off point. When the person jumps, the cord will stretch
to take up the energy of the fall, then the jumper will fly upwards as the cord
snaps back. The jumper oscillates up and down until the initial energy of the
jump is dissipated.
Jump from the Bhote Koshi bridge and feel the thrill that you won't get from
anywhere in the world. Make sure your companion are the members from Himalayan
Yetiland Trekks & Expedition.
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.
The jump, at 160m, was designed by one of New Zealand's leading bungee
consultants. Bungee jumping (or bungy jumping) is an activity in which a person jumps
