Nepal |

 |
If you thought bungee jumping was
restricted to some places in Europe, New Zealand and
America, it's time you get an update. The sport has
finally found a natural home in the highest mountain
range in the world. The ultimate thrill of a bungee jump
can now be experienced in Nepal at perhaps the best site
in the world.
A hanging bridge 160 meters above the wild Himalayan
river situated just a few kilometers from the Tibetan
border is a perfect place for a straight fall of 160
meters. Just three hours ride from Kathmandu and you
will reach the spot, situated above the Bhote Koshi
river, for the ultimate bungee jumping experience.
Location
: Around 3 hours drive from Kathmandu along
the Nepal / Tibet Highway. Just 10 kilometers from Kodari,
the Tibetan border.
The Gorge : The bungee takes place
on a 166m wide steel suspension bridge over the wild Himalayan
river -Bhoti Kosi.
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.
