Overview

HighGround Bungee Jump, situated just outside the popular tourist city of Pokhara in Nepal, is one of the country’s most thrilling and scenic adventure experiences. The jump platform stands at an impressive height of 80 meters above the ground, perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking the beautiful Hemja valley and the Yamdi River below.

This location offers jumpers not only an intense adrenaline rush during the freefall, which lasts around five seconds, but also breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding lush green landscapes and distant Himalayan peaks. The bungee jump experience is designed to accommodate both solo jumpers and tandem jumps, allowing friends or family members to share the excitement together. Safety is of paramount importance at HighGround Adventures, where highly trained and experienced jump masters supervise every jump to ensure all participants are secure and comfortable.

They use top-quality equipment that meets international safety standards, and every jumper receives a detailed briefing beforehand to prepare mentally and physically for the jump. Beyond bungee jumping, HighGround Adventures also offers a variety of other adrenaline-pumping activities, such as the world’s steepest zipline and off-road ATV tours, making the location a hub for adventure tourism in Pokhara. The entire process, from arrival and briefing to transport to the jump site and the actual jump, generally takes about two hours, making it a convenient and accessible activity for both casual tourists and extreme sports enthusiasts. Due to its growing popularity, especially during peak travel seasons, advance booking is highly recommended to secure your place and make the most of this unforgettable experience.
