Overview
Experience the Thrill of Bungee Jumping in Nepal
Bungee Jumping in Nepal offers an adrenaline-filled adventure over one of the country’s fast-flowing rivers. Additionally, you can follow it up with a canyon swing—an incredible 240-meter free fall at 150 kilometers per hour.
The operators ensure safety by using long, elastic ropes and highly trained staff. The main jump site lies about 200 kilometers west of Kathmandu, near a small village where you can also experience local culture and stunning views of the Annapurna Himalayas.
Bungee Jumping in Kathmandu: Bhotekoshi
Nepal’s first bungee jumping location stands 160 meters above the Bhotekoshi River, close to the Nepal-Tibet border. It’s about a three-hour drive from Kathmandu.
A top New Zealand bungee consultant designed this jump, and experienced professionals operate it. Therefore, safety remains a top priority.
Note: People with heart conditions, epilepsy, high blood pressure, pregnancy, or orthopedic issues cannot participate.
Before each jump, staff weigh participants to choose the appropriate cord—green, red, or black—based on weight categories. Then, adrenaline kicks in as you leap.
Imagine a suspension bridge 160 meters above a gorge, with the Bhotekoshi River roaring below. Now, close your eyes and jump!
Best Time for Bungee Jumping in Nepal
The ideal seasons for bungee jumping in Nepal are autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May).
On the other hand, avoid the monsoon months (July and August) and winter (January and February) because weather conditions usually do not favor this activity.
Bungee Jumping Cost and Availability
The bungee jumping cost in Nepal is USD 155, which includes round-trip transportation, the jump, and lunch.
Note: This price applies for jumps on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday. Jumps on other days may incur an extra charge.

One Week in Nepal With Tour Guide
I recently spent one week in Nepal and Tour Guide Team Trek provided an extraordinary service with an itinerary suited to my needs and interests, including Kathmandu, Chitwan, and Pokhara, detailed cultural and historical explanations when visiting different sites in Kathmandu, and above all, a customer and people-oriented approach to all activities, meals, shopping, etc. Kumar Dahal was my tour guide and it was a pleasure for me to have him showing me his native Nepal. Kumar has excellent English speaking skills and he is willing to take the extra mile to help you have the best trip to this beautiful country. I recommend him and Nepal Tour Guide Team Trek wholeheartedly as the best agency to fulfill your expectations.

Memorable 4 Days With Tour Guide
My wife and I had the privilege to enjoy a 4 days long private tour with tourguideinnepal.com. Everything was spot on. We had a private driver and a private tour guide for the entire trip, both extremely polite. I can 100% recommend them to others also. I also found their pricing more than fair. Kumar runs the company, he was very helpful when we put together the custom itinerary. Our tour guide was Suvash, probably the most caring guy I’ve ever met. Thanks for the lifetime experience guys!

Two Nights Was Awesome
I only had two nights in Kathmandu and primarily wanted to do a chopper flight around Everest as well as see as much of Kathmandu as possible. Kumar was amazing and looked after me like family. I did a lot of research and Kumar booked the Chopper flight for me and answered any and all questions I had leading up to it. The Everest day was truly one of the best and awe inspiring days of my life. Kumar also took us to all of the must see sights in Kathmandu. He listened to our needs as well as read our body language for what we required. You must have a guide in places like Kathmandu to understand the history and not miss anything and you won’t regret using Kumar – he is the best!!

AMAZING NEPAL EXPERIENCE WITH Nepal Tour Guide Team
We had the privilege exploring KTM valley with Kumar. He has a way of showing you all facets of Nepal as nobody else will. Not only does he know his country like no other, he also has a special way of connecting you with his culture , people, customs and more like a real tour guide can only do. He is a humanitarian, a good spirit, with a great sense of humor and a heart of gold, someone who CARES about his country and people. You will love the way he guides you and shows you his country. Anything from local foods, to extensive history or just small talk about politics and social issues, Kumar is happy to discuss all. He showed us a side of Nepal, we would have never experienced with a larger bus group. He customized our program to our liking, the way we wanted it, patiently answered all of our questions always friendly , attentive and genuine. We can highly recommend Kumar as your private guide. I have traveled the world extensively (please see my other reviews on tripadvisor) and know the difference between ‘just a guide’ and a true tour director who LOVES his job and connecting with people from all walks of life. Kumar is great in what he does and his personality will make you like him the day you meet. We are still friends and should we return to Nepal, there is no doubt in our minds that we will see him again, not only as our guide but also to reunite with a great friend and human being.
Two Weeks In Nepal
We came to Nepal for just under two weeks in March 2017. My husband and I decided to bring my mom for her 60th birthday as it was her lifelong dream to visit Nepal. But weren’t sure what to do while we were there! Luckily, we found Nepal Tour Guide Team, and after a few emails to Kumar, he set up the whole trip for us. Our trip was incredible, and Kumar was wonderful. From Kathmandu to Chitwan, Pokhara and back, Kumar showed us the whole country, and his knowledge was second to none. He arranged all the hotels, the car and driver, the things we did, showed us great places to eat and most importantly, provided great friendship and conversation along the way! We laughed the whole trip and had a wonderful time. The mountains were beautiful, Chitwan was amazing, and the lakeside at Pokhara was definitely my mom’s favorite part. We’re still positive we had the best tour guide and the most skilled driver in the entire country. Kumar is an incredible person and we made a lifelong friend. Even after coming home, we continue to keep in touch, chatting and making video calls. We can’t wait to go back!
