situated 160m over the wild Bhote Kosi
river, and located close to the
Nepal-Tibet border, a three-hour bus
ride from Kathmandu. As can be arranged

there is only one agency offering this
sport. The jump, at 160m, was designed
by one of New Zealand's leading bungee
consultants, and is operated by some of
the most experienced jump masters in the
business. It's mishap-proof. The agency
takes safety "very, very seriously".
