Searching for bungee jumping in Pokhara or bungee jumping Pokhara? Nepal’s lake city is one of the easiest places in the Himalayas to add a gorge jump to your trip. The main Pokhara bungee site at Hemja offers a ~70-metre leap from a suspension bridge (from about NPR 4,500), while Kushma — a day trip from Pokhara — delivers a 228-metre plunge over the Kali Gandaki River.
This guide covers both jumps: height, price cues, safety, how they compare with ZipFlyer and paragliding, and how to book with HolidayKosh.

Pokhara Bungee at Hemja (Main Jump)
The primary bungee jumping in Pokhara site is in Hemja, a short drive from Lakeside. You jump from a suspension bridge into a river gorge — roughly a 70-metre free-fall feel depending on the setup and harness style used by the operator.
What to expect
- Hotel or Lakeside pickup (when booked as a package)
- Safety briefing and weight/harness check
- Walk onto the bridge platform
- Countdown and jump
- Recovery / retrieval and transfer back
No previous experience is required. Wear secure shoes and clothes you can move in; leave loose items in the locker or with staff.
Safety
Reputable operators use professional harness systems, redundant checks, and trained jump masters. Always book through a known platform or agency rather than random roadside touts — HolidayKosh can connect you to current Hemja operators.
Kushma Bungee — Higher Jump Near Pokhara
If bungee jumping Pokhara searches lead you to “highest jump” content, they often mean Kushma in Parbat district — commonly promoted as one of the world’s highest commercial bungee sites at around 228 m over the Kali Gandaki.
Kushma is typically a day trip from Pokhara (or a stop on the Pokhara–Mustang / Beni corridor). Expect a longer transfer, a bigger price tag, and a more intense free-fall than Hemja. Choose Kushma when height is the priority; choose Hemja when convenience and a first jump matter more.
Bungee vs ZipFlyer vs Paragliding in Pokhara
| Activity | Thrill type | Best if you want… |
|---|---|---|
| Bungee | Vertical free-fall | A short, intense jump |
| ZipFlyer | High-speed zipline | Long flight + Annapurna views |
| Paragliding | Soaring flight | Soft adventure + lake landing photos |
Many travellers do paragliding one day and bungee or ZipFlyer another — leave recovery time between big adrenaline hits.
