You round a hairpin, the valley opens and the river below looks like a ribbon of quicksilver daring you to step closer. The Kushma bungee platform hangs above the Kali Gandaki gorge on a span of steel and rope; guides run through buckles while wind off the canyon tugs at your jacket. The leap is brief, furious and oddly precise—the drop reshapes the day into a single sharp memory.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You round a hairpin, the valley opens and the river below looks like a ribbon of quicksilver daring you to step closer. The Kushma bungee platform hangs above the Kali Gandaki gorge on a span of steel and rope; guides run through buckles while wind off the canyon tugs at your jacket. The leap is brief, furious and oddly precise—the drop reshapes the day into a single sharp memory.
The gorge itself is carved by the Kali Gandaki, a river that for centuries was part of east–west trade routes between the Himalaya and the lowlands. The cliffs are sedimentary layers turned vertical by tectonic forces that shaped central Nepal; you can read that geology in the exposed bands as you queue. Kushma town is a working market hub where Gurung and Magar communities meet travelers—local bridges and small tea shops offer authentic stops before or after the jump.
Practical guidance: tours depart from Pokhara and run as full-day private transfers (about 2–3 hours each way depending on road conditions), with lunch and bungee fees included. Expect a 6–8 hour outing from hotel pickup to return. Operators handle harnesses and safety checks—bring photo ID, wear sturdy closed-toe shoes, and be prepared for short, uneven walks to the platform.
Restrictions include pregnancy and serious heart conditions. Morning departures give calmer winds and clearer views; late afternoon light sharpens the gorge but can mean chillier temperatures. If you want to stretch the day, ask to visit the local suspension bridges or viewpoints for longer canyon views and a quieter sense of the landscape.
moderate.
6–8 hours.
No advanced fitness required but be comfortable with short climbs, uneven ground and the physical shock of a high-adrenaline drop.
The actual drop lasts only a few seconds; the full experience including briefing, gearing and safety checks takes longer—plan on 30–60 minutes at the site.
Yes; the private day tour includes round-trip air-conditioned transport, with pickup and drop-off in Pokhara according to booking details.
Age limits vary by operator; children must meet minimum age and weight requirements and be accompanied by an adult—check at booking.
Bungee is not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with serious cardiovascular conditions; operators perform safety briefings and equipment checks for every jumper.
Kushma grew as a market and river crossing on routes linking hill communities; the gorge has long been a natural corridor for trade and cultural exchange.
Visitors are asked to pack out waste and respect riverside vegetation; local operators increasingly follow leave-no-trace practices to protect the gorge and river.
