Step off a 160 m suspension bridge above the Bhote Kosi gorge for one of the world’s longest free-falls. This full-day trip from Kathmandu pairs a 3-hour drive with a tightly run jump operation and dramatic river canyon scenery.

The morning bus peels out of Kathmandu before dawn, and the road narrows as terraced hills slide past the windows. By the time the steel suspension bridge comes into view, the Bhote Kosi River is a white thread far below — a raw, vertical cut through rock that dares the jumper to look down.

Medical screening first
Disclose heart, neurological, spinal, or pregnancy conditions before booking — operators require strict medical clearance.
Secure footwear for the approach
Wear lace-up shoes with good traction for the bridge and river-side paths; flip-flops are not suitable.
Hydrate and eat light
Drink water and have a light meal before travel; avoid alcohol or heavy meals that could affect your jump.
Book early morning departures
Leave early to avoid afternoon wind and to allow time for rig checks and return transport; weather can cause delays later in the day.
Government-issued photo ID / passport
Required for booking and to meet operator documentation checks.
Secure lace-up shoes
Provide traction and stability on the bridge and approach trails.
Small daypack with water and snacks
Keeps hydration and essentials handy during the long drive and waiting periods.
Windproof shell or light insulated layer
Useful for pre- and post-jump exposure on the bridge, especially in cooler months.
