Bungy Jumping in Nepal
We think the Bungy is the most spectacular jump
in the world. At 160 meters high, it is Nepal's Ultimate Rush.
It was designed by one of New Zealand’s leading Bungy
Consultants and is staffed and operated by some of the most
experienced Western Jump Masters in the business.
You will find the bungy shuttle in the Himalayan country of
Nepal having access of less than 3 hours out of Kathmandu.. You
will travel the Arniko (Kathmandu/Lhasa) Highway to within 12km
of the Tibet Border and the famous Friendship Bridge. Bungy Jump
takes place on a 166m wide steel suspension bridge over the
Bhoti Kosi River. The bridge where bungy jump takes place is
swiss designed, specially for bungy jumping with a 4x saftey
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 tonnes. 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.
