Bungee Jumping In
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.

Bungee Jumping |
| 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.
