Bungee jumping in Nepal: what to expect
Nepal's most famous bungee jump drops 160 m from a steel suspension bridge over the Bhote Koshi gorge, about three hours north-east of Kathmandu near the Tibetan border. Near Pokhara, a bungee at Hemja offers a jump of about 70 m, with the option to touch the water.
