Bungee Jumping
What?
Bungee jumping is an activity in which a person jumps off from a high place (generally from hundreds of meters height) 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, which makes the jumper fly upwards as the cord snaps back. The jumper oscillates up and down until the initial energy of the jump is dissipated. Where? The bungee jump place is located less than 3 hours driving from Kathmandu. The bungee jump takes place on a 166 m wide steel suspension bridge over the Bhoti Kosi river, a beautiful nature location. The bridge itself is a piece of scientific marvel and of Swiss design, especially made for bungy jumping with a 4x safety factor. Making this jump, is experiencing one of the longest free-falls in the world.
When?
A bungee jump can be made throughout the year.
