Bungy Jumping
 |
Bungy jumping is an extreme sport that involves jumping from a tall structure while connected to a large elastic cord. The tall structure is usually a fixed object, such as a building, bridge or crane; but it is also possible to jump from a movable object, such as a hot-air-balloon or helicopter, that has the ability to hover over one spot on the ground. The thrill comes as much from the free-fall as from the rebounds. Bungee jumping gives the jumper extreme excitement and a memorable lifetime experience.
Nepal's first bungy jumping site is situated 160m over the wild Bhote Kosi river, and located close to the Nepal-Tibet border, a three-hour bus ride from Kathmandu. As can be arranged on arrival in Kathmandu. As of now, there is only one agency offering this sport. The jump, at 160m, was designed by one of New Zealand's leading bungy consultants, and is operated by some of the most experienced jump masters in the business. It's mishap-proof. The agency takes safety "very, very seriously". You can book your bungy as a day trip from Kathmandu or combine it with a stay and other activities. On the day of your jump the jump master will first give a briefing. He then writes your weight on your hand and tells you in which group you will be jumping. If you have any medical problems, please discuss them with the jump master. We advise you to wear closed shoes for the bungee. Make sure your pockets are empty and know that cameras and bags are not allowed on the bridge. We provide safety deposit boxes for your valuables.
Location
Less than 3 hours outside Kathmandu by Ultimate Bungy Shuttle. You will travel the Arniko (Kathmandu/Lhasa) Highway to within 12km of the Tibet Border and the famous Friendship Bridge.
The Gorge
Ultimate Bungy Nepal takes place on a 166m wide steel suspension bridge over the Bhoti Kosi River.
The Bridge
Swiss designed, specially for bungy jumping with a 4x safety factor. The bridge has a loading factor of 250kg per running meter. This means that the bridge will hold 250 x 166 = 41,500kg or 4.5 tones. And... those are Swiss measurements! * Over 6000 meters of steel wire was used to build the bridge * Longest suspension bridge in Nepal * The bridge joins two sides of a great valley. Before its construction, locals walked five hours to cross this river gorge.
Para Gliding
 |
Paragliding in Nepal can be a truly wonderful & fulfilling experience for the adventure seeking. A trip will take you over some of the best scenery on earth, as you share airspace with Himalayan griffin vultures, eagles, kites & float over villages, monasteries, temples, lakes & jungle, with a fantastic view of the majestic Himalayas. Pokhara is now an internationally recognized destination for free-flight enthusiasts.
The hot spot for paragliding is the Pokhara valley. At 800 meters above sea level, the mild climate makes it an ideal area for flying, far more stable than the Kathmandu valley. Gliding is a weather dependent sport & the flying season in Nepal commences from November through February, the month being November & December. There is a dedicated takeoff area especially cleared for paragliding. The take-off point for these flights is Sarangkot (1592m), which also offers prime views of Phewa Lake & the mountains at the sunrise & sunset. As flying is dependant on thermals and ridge winds, this activity is highly dependant on the weather. The best times to glide during the day is between 9 and 11 o’clock in the morning. The best thermals form when the ground is just starting to heat the air.
A flight takes about ½ to ¾ hour, depending on the thermals. Once you book with us, we provide you pick up and drop facility to and from the hotel. Don't forget to bring a wind proof jacket and shoes for this adventure. Its quite rude to send slippers or sandals falling down from the sky. Flying in the skies is quite safe and even acrophobics can consider the activity – just keep your eyes on the picturesque scenery of the Annapurna massifs towering high over the northern skyline.
How to FLY.
Paragliding requires a running start to take off; one cannot simply jump off a cliff as this is not parachuting. Observing the wind direction, an experienced pilot will walk into a gusty breeze to aid lifting the canopy. When one runs, the glider catches wind and chambers in the canopy fill up with air. This running start is done in a downhill direction. If one runs uphill, it is very tough for the glider to run fast and far enough for the chambers to fill with air. Once a strong wind is caught, the canopy fills and lifts, the pilot (and his passenger if in tandem flight) who is still running will feel being lifted off the ground. With hands on the guiding strings, the pilot can steer the direction, twisting, tugging and turning his or her body in the required direction.
What Happens When it FLY.
A common complaint by first-time fliers is that paragliding can be quite a nauseating adventure. This problem arises in certain situations. One is when the glider starts to spiral or spin when the canopy is caught in forceful winds. This is not the regular course for first-timers flying tandem with commercial operators, as the experienced pilots choose familiar and safe ‘air-routes’ to fly. It is usually towards the end, as the pilot carefully maneuvers the glider for landing that a giddy feeling sets in. The pilot has to fly in a tightening circular path as its path spirals to that exact landing point.
