Overview

Looking for the ultimate adrenaline rush in Nepal? Bungee jumping in Pokhara with The Everest Holiday is the perfect way to test your courage while taking in some of the most stunning natural scenery the country has to offer.

Located at the HighGround Bungee Station in Hemja, just a short drive from Pokhara's Lakeside, this 80-meter tower bungee jump delivers a heart-pounding freefall into a deep river gorge — surrounded by the mighty Annapurna Himalayas, lush green hills, and the shimmering Phewa Lake in the distance.

Unlike bungee jumps in big cities where you only see concrete and skyscrapers, the Pokhara bungee experience is uniquely scenic. As you take the leap, you'll be greeted by panoramic views of mountains, forests, and rivers — making the jump as visually stunning as it is thrilling. Depending on the water level in the gorge below, lucky jumpers may even touch or dip into the water before bouncing back up.

The Hemja Bungee Tower is built and operated to international safety standards, using premium HighGround-certified bungee cords, full-body harness systems, and trained jump masters with years of experience. Whether it's your first jump or your hundredth, you'll be guided through every step — from gear-up to the final leap.
