The Bungee jump may not sound like a new thrill, but Bungee jumping in Nepal is not like anywhere else. Bungee jump with incredible views makes the experience so much better. All people agree, as Nepal has been labeled one of the “best sites” to experience the thrill of a bungee jump.

There are only two spots for a bungee jump, the more popular one being the Last resort and other in Pokhara. The Last resort rests a few kilometers away from all the city amidst terraced slopes and lush forests. In such location, one gets to enjoy peace and solitude amidst the natural beauty.

The jump is the most exhilarating for a few minutes. Once when you stand at the edge of a bridge above one of the deepest gorges of the Bhotekoshi River. And, the next when you experience the longest free-fall of your life as you make your way down to the river.

You jump from an elevation of 3600 ft to experience a 100 m free-fall which is one of the highest natural jumps in 160 m deep gorge.
