Bungee Jumping |
 |
|
|
If you thought bungee
jumping was restricted to some places in
Europe, New Zealand and America, it's
time you got and update. The sport has
finally found a natural home in the
highest mountain range in the world. The
ultimate thrill of a bungee jump can now
be experienced in Nepal at perhaps the
best site in the world.
Nepal's first bungee jumping site is
situated 160m over the wild Bhote Koshi
river, and located close to the
Nepal-Tibet border, a three-hour bus
|
 |
|
|
ride from Kathmandu. As
can be arranged on arrival in Kathmandu.
As of now, 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".
Location : Less than 3 hours outside
Kathmandu by Ultimate Bungy Shuttle. You
will travel the Arniko (Kathmandu/Lhasa)
Highway to within 12km of the Tibet
Border and the famous Friendship Bridge.
The Gorge : Ultimate Bungy Nepal takes
place on a 166m wide steel suspension
bridge over the Bhoti Kosi River.
The Bridge : Swiss designed, specially
for bungy jumping with a 4x saftey
factor. The bridge has a loading factor
of 250kg per running meter. This means
that the bridge will hold 250 x 166 =
41,500kg or 4.5 tonnes. And... those are
Swiss measurements! * Over 6000 meters
of steel wire was used to build the
bridge * Longest suspension bridge in
Nepal * The bridge joins two sides of a
great valley. Before its construction,
locals walked five hours to cross this
river gorge. |
