Kushma is the headquarters of Parbat district, at the meeting of the Kali Gandaki and Modi Khola, about 1.5–2 hours from Pokhara. Long suspension bridges span the deep gorges, and the town is home to a bungee jump of about 228 m, one of the highest in the world, plus a giant swing.
Quick answer: Visit as a day trip from Pokhara or on the way to Beni and the Annapurna Circuit's lower section. Book adventure activities with established operators.
