Kathmandu
One of the higher jumps anywhere, off a bridge over a river gorge. Out and back in a day.

$80per person
Nepal has two serious bungee sites. The suspension bridge over the Bhote Koshi gorge, a few hours east of Kathmandu on the Tibet road, is the original. The bridge over the Kali Gandaki at Kushma, reachable from Pokhara, is higher still.
Road transfer, a safety briefing, then the walk out to the middle of the bridge — which is the part everybody remembers — and about three seconds of freefall. Lunch, and back the same evening. The sites are run by dedicated operators with imported gear and their own safety crews; we arrange the booking, the transport and where it sits in your trip.
There are minimum and maximum weight limits and a short list of medical exclusions — heart conditions, recent surgery, pregnancy among them. Tell us in advance and we will check you against the operator's current requirements rather than let you find out at the bridge.
It depends where you are and when. Say which city you will be in and we will tell you which jump makes sense.
<p>An early start by road to the gorge, briefing and weigh-in, the walk onto the bridge and the jump. Lunch at the site, then the drive back — in town again by evening.</p>
