Bungee Jumping |
|
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.
|
|
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 : Eastern Nepal Less than 3 hours from
Kathmandu in the Arniko (Kathmandu/Lhasa) Highway to
within 12km of the Tibet Border and the famous
Friendship Bridge.
The Gorge: 166m wide steel suspension bridge over the
Bhote Koshi River. |
|
The
Bridge : Swiss designed, specially for bungee
jumping with a 4x safety 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
tones 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. |
