You step onto the platform and the valley opens beneath you: a braided river threads through green terraces, hills roll toward the Annapurna skyline, and for five seconds the world narrows to the drop. HighGround’s 70m tower bungee, Nepal’s first tower bungee, delivers a pure, airborne pulse of adrenaline with a panoramic backdrop that keeps your eyes busy even as your stomach flips.
The jump site sits roughly 20 minutes from Pokhara Lakeside, a region long used as a gateway to Himalayan trekking. Geologically, the valley is carved by rivers fed from mountain snowmelt; the tower perches above steep, weathered slopes that make a clear free-fall line. Culturally, Pokhara blends Gurung and Newar influences with a growing adventure-tourism scene—local guides and drivers are familiar, and safety protocols reflect international operator standards.
Expect a two-hour experience: ground briefing, harnessing, the climb to the platform, and the jump itself. Staff perform equipment checks and explain signals; you’ll hear the cord tension and the wind move through the scaffold. Not recommended for pregnant travelers, or those with serious spinal or heart conditions.
Practical tips: arrive hydrated but avoid heavy meals right before a jump; wear secure, closed-toe shoes; carry a copy of your ID and any medical info. Morning sessions give clearer Himalayan views; afternoons can bring thermal haze. Book in advance during peak season and reconfirm weight/age rules with the operator.
The leap is short and intense, but what lingers is the combination of human engineering and raw mountain landscape—five seconds that reframe how fast you move through the world.
moderate.

Moderate fitness—able to climb stairs and follow safety instructions; no sustained endurance required.
The free fall on the 70m tower lasts about five seconds between jump and initial cord arrest.
Jumps are not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with significant heart or spinal conditions; operators typically set minimum and maximum age and weight limits—confirm when booking.
Plan on roughly two hours from pick-up/arrival through briefing, gear checks, and the jump depending on group size.
Full refunds are usually available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled time; check your booking confirmation for specific terms.
Pokhara evolved from a trade and settlement hub into Nepal’s adventure center; modern adventure providers have expanded since the 1990s to serve trekking and air-sports markets.
Operators encourage minimal-impact visits—stick to designated paths, avoid littering, and support local businesses to keep adventure tourism sustainable.
