Nepal has three bungee sites, and they are nothing alike. The Cliff at Kushma drops you 228 m into the Kali Gandaki gorge — the highest in the country. The Last Resort on the Bhote Koshi is the original, a 160 m leap off a private bridge on the way to the Tibet border. And a newer 80 m tower jump sits 20 minutes from Pokhara Lakeside, the easiest to reach and the cheapest. This guide gives the height, the price and the practicalities of each in 2026, taken from the operators' own rate pages, plus the Pokhara ZipFlyer — the long zipline people often pair with a jump.
The short version
If you only read one section.
- Three sites: The Cliff, Kushma (228 m, highest); The Last Resort, Bhote Koshi (160 m, the original, near the Tibet border); and HighGround, Pokhara (an 80 m tower, easiest to reach).
- Rough 2026 prices: Kushma NPR 8,000 plus a NPR 500 entry fee; Pokhara NPR 5,000 solo; the Bhote Koshi from about US$108 as a day trip from Kathmandu that includes transport and lunch.
- There is no bungee inside Kathmandu city. The Bhote Koshi site is a 3.5-hour drive east; Kushma is a day from Pokhara or a stop on the Pokhara–Baglung road.
- You are weighed at check-in. Rough limits are 40–98 kg on the Bhote Koshi and 45–95 kg at Kushma; minimum ages are 12–14 depending on the site, and under-18s need a parent's written consent.
- Prices below are the operators' own published rates, checked on 27 September 2026 — confirm at booking, as they change and the dollar rate moves.
The three bungee sites, compared
Every bungee jump in Nepal is at one of these three sites. They differ in height, in how you get there and in what a jump costs, so the right one depends more on where you already are than on which is 'best'.
| Site | Height | Bungee price | Getting there |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Cliff, Kushma (Parbat) | 228 m over Kali Gandaki gorge | NPR 8,000 + NPR 500 entry | ~1 hr from Pokhara |
| The Last Resort, Bhote Koshi (Sindhupalchok) | 160 m over the Bhote Koshi | from US$108 (day trip, transport + lunch) | ~3.5 hr east of Kathmandu |
| HighGround, Pokhara | 80 m cantilever tower | NPR 5,000 solo / NPR 9,500 tandem | 20 min from Lakeside |
The Cliff, Kushma — the 228 m jump
The Cliff, above the Kali Gandaki gorge at Kushma in Parbat district, is the highest bungee in Nepal at 228 m (748 ft) and one of the highest in the world. You jump from a purpose-built platform on a 520 m suspension bridge slung between the Parbat and Baglung banks, with the river far below. The same site runs the country's highest swing, a giant pendulum you can do solo or as a couple.
Kushma is about an hour by road from Pokhara, which makes it the usual choice for anyone based there — many go up for a morning and are back in Lakeside by afternoon. Reporting time is 9 a.m., and jumps stop in heavy rain, lightning or strong wind, so a clear-weather morning is safest.
The Cliff's published rate is a single figure — NPR 8,000 for a bungee or a swing, plus a NPR 500 site entry fee — with no separate tourist price listed. Blogs that quote a higher 'foreigner' rate are not the operator; check the rate page or ask on WhatsApp before you travel up.
The Last Resort, Bhote Koshi — the original
The Last Resort is the original Bhote Koshi jump — it ran for years before Kushma opened, and it is still the one most people picture: a 160 m drop from a private suspension bridge over the Bhote Koshi gorge, on the Araniko Highway towards the Tibet border. It sits about 100 km east of Kathmandu, a drive of roughly three and a half hours, so unlike Kushma it is done from the capital rather than Pokhara.
It is sold as a day trip. The bungee-only package is US$108 per person including return transport from Kathmandu and lunch, or US$92 if you make your own way there. A combined bungee-and-canyon-swing day is US$137. Day trips run on set days — bungee-only on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays — and you can stay overnight at the resort for about US$39 more with meals.
Pokhara — the tower jump and the ZipFlyer
If you are in Pokhara and want the shortest trip, HighGround runs an 80 m bungee off a cantilever tower about 20 minutes from Lakeside. It is the cheapest jump in the country — NPR 5,000 solo, NPR 9,500 for a tandem — and the price includes pickup from the Lakeside office, the jump and the return. Because the tower is engineered rather than a bridge over a river, it also has the most predictable conditions.
The same operator runs the ZipFlyer, the long zipline from Sarangkot down to Hemja — 1,850 m long with a vertical drop of more than 600 m and a 56° start, reaching well over 100 km/h. The classic ride is NPR 8,850 for foreigners and NPR 6,850 for Nepalis, with transport included and a photo-and-video package for NPR 1,500 more. It is a common half-day to pair with the bungee or with a Sarangkot sunrise.
Swings and the other rides
Not everyone wants a head-first freefall, and every site has a gentler-looking alternative that is, in truth, just as wild. At Kushma the swing costs the same as the bungee — NPR 8,000 solo, NPR 13,500 for a couple on the tandem swing — and the site also has a 'sky cycle', a pedal cabin that runs a wire high across the gorge, for NPR 3,000. On the Bhote Koshi the canyon swing is the add-on that turns a bungee day into the US$137 combo.
In Pokhara, HighGround's SkyScreamer swing starts at about NPR 2,500 and is the least intimidating way to get the drop feeling. Whichever you choose, the swings share the bungee's weight and health rules, so read the limits below before you turn up.
What each activity costs
The table pulls together the published price of each ride across the three operators. The Cliff and HighGround quote in Nepali rupees; The Last Resort quotes in US dollars, so its rupee cost moves with the exchange rate. Bring the fee in cash or be ready to pay by card at the operator's office — the sites themselves are remote.
| Activity (operator) | Price |
|---|---|
| Bungee — The Cliff, Kushma | NPR 8,000 (+ NPR 500 entry) |
| Bungee day trip — Bhote Koshi | from US$108 (transport + lunch) |
| Bungee — HighGround, Pokhara | NPR 5,000 solo / NPR 9,500 tandem |
| Swing — The Cliff, Kushma | NPR 8,000 solo / NPR 13,500 couple |
| Bungee + canyon swing — Bhote Koshi | US$137 day trip |
| ZipFlyer (classic) — Pokhara | NPR 8,850 foreigner / NPR 6,850 Nepali |
| SkyScreamer swing — Pokhara | from NPR 2,500 |
| Sky cycle — The Cliff, Kushma | NPR 3,000 |
Weight, age and safety limits
Every operator weighs you at check-in and turns away anyone outside the range — the harness and cord are rated for it, so there is no arguing at the platform. The Cliff takes bungee jumpers from 45 to 95 kg and aged 14 or over with medical clearance; its swing runs a wider 40–145 kg. The Bhote Koshi bungee is 40–98 kg, its canyon swing 40–120 kg. The Pokhara tower is 45–100 kg, ages 12 to 65, and you must be taller than 130 cm.
Under-18s need a parent's or guardian's written consent everywhere. You will fill in a health form declaring conditions that rule you out — heart disease, high blood pressure, epilepsy, recent surgery, neck or back injury, and pregnancy among them. Declare honestly; the form is the operator's, and the check is for your safety.
Book through the operator or their office, not a tout on the street, and match the name on your payment to your photo ID — the Pokhara site checks this at entry. Jumps are called off in bad weather; if you have only one clear morning, go early and have a fallback day.
