Bhote Koshi Bungee Day tour

It is about 160m and one of Nepal's highest bungee jumps, dropping into the Bhote Koshi river gorge at The Last Resort. The platform is suspended over the gorge near the Tibet/Nepal border, which makes it one of the most dramatic free-falls in the country. If you would like the exact height confirmed before you book, just ask us.

It is at The Last Resort on the Bhote Koshi river, about a 3-hour drive from Kathmandu towards the Tibet/Nepal border. We run it as a 1-day trip, so you leave Kathmandu in the morning and return the same day. The drive itself follows the dramatic Bhote Koshi gorge, so the scenery starts well before the jump.

The price is on request — tell us your group size and date and we will send the current rate. Ask us what is included so there are no surprises, as a day trip like this normally covers return transport from Kathmandu and the jump itself. Larger groups can usually be quoted a better per-person rate.

Yes — the jump uses purpose-built equipment and trained jump masters, and the gorge site is one of Nepal's longest-running bungee operations. Harnesses and cords are checked before every jump. If you have any health concerns, tell us in advance and we will pass on the current safety guidance.

There are minimum-age and weight limits for safety, as with any bungee. We would rather not quote a figure that may have changed, so ask us for the current age and weight limits before you book. Send us your details and we will confirm whether you are eligible to jump.

No trekking fitness or previous experience is needed — this is graded as an activity, not a trek. It suits first-time jumpers as well as seasoned thrill-seekers, provided you are in reasonable health and within the age and weight limits. The day involves a scenic drive and the jump, not hiking, so almost anyone can take part.

Year-round. The jump and the drive from Kathmandu operate in every season, so you can slot it around the rest of your Nepal trip. Mountain weather can occasionally affect the gorge road, so we will let you know if a particular date needs adjusting.

It typically includes return road transport from Kathmandu to The Last Resort and your bungee jump over the gorge. Extras such as meals, photos or video and any add-on activities can vary, so ask us exactly what is bundled for your chosen date. We handle the logistics so you only need to turn up ready to jump.

It is a 1-day trip — roughly 3 hours' drive each way from Kathmandu, plus time at the gorge for the briefing and the jump. Most people are back in Kathmandu by the evening. It works well as a single adrenaline day either side of a longer trek.

No trekking permit is required for the bungee day trip, and we arrange any paperwork needed as part of your package. The site sits near the Tibet/Nepal border, but the jump itself is on the Nepal side. Ask us if you are combining it with a border crossing or onward Tibet travel and we will advise.

Yes — first-timers jump here every day, and the jump masters talk you through every step before you go. The Last Resort gorge is also known for other adrenaline activities such as a canyon swing, so ask us if you would like to add one to your day. We will tailor the trip to how much of a thrill you are after.

Your 20% deposit is non-refundable, so there is no free cancellation. What we do offer is free rescheduling. Give us 72 hours' notice and we move your trip to any date within a year at no charge. The balance is only paid in Kathmandu, so nothing else is at risk before you arrive. If we have to cancel, you get your money back, less only the bank, card or gateway charges and the tax on them if you paid online. If your plans change, message me and we will find new dates together.

Yes. This trip runs from one person, there is no single supplement, and the price per person drops as your group grows. Solo travellers are often paired with other guests on the day where that makes the trip better, and never without asking you first.

Only for lightning or heavy rain; wind and cloud do not stop a bungee. If the operator cancels on the day we move you to the next available slot or refund you, less only the bank, card or gateway charges and the tax on them if you paid online. If you decide on the platform that you cannot jump, that is completely your right, and the operator does not refund the jump fee, so be sure before you book.

Often not. Most standard travel policies exclude bungee unless you add adventure sports cover, so read your policy before you book, and add the cover if it is missing. The operator has its own safety certification and equipment checks, but that is not a substitute for your own insurance.

We collect you from your hotel in the morning, the exact time is on your confirmation and depends on where you are staying, and you are back the same evening. The Bhote Koshi site is about three hours from Kathmandu each way on the Araniko Highway, so it is a full day out, with the jump itself over in seconds.
