Just imagination of jumping down from a bridge 160 meter above a
tropical gorge with the Bhote Koshi. One of Nepal’s wildest rivers
raging below is enough to make your heartbeat run faster. And it is the
thrill of bungee jumping as it there is no fun for real adventure lover
if challenge is not so hard and difficult. It is located within a reach
of four hours outside of Kathmandu valley and just 19 kilometers away
from the Tibet Border. The bungee bridge happens to be the only
privately owned bridge in Nepal. It has been specially designed for
bungee jumping with a 4x-safety factor and has a loading factor of
41,500 kg or 4.5 tons according to Swiss measurements.
One would have to be totally insane of suicidal twisted
to jump off the remarkable 500-ft(160m)drop into the Bhote Koshi river
gorge. As the Bungee master nick named Rock advises the jumpers to
ensure that pockets are empty and the girls have no loose jewelry coming
in the way, nervous laughter erupts from the crowd when he strongly
advises against taking intoxicants just before the jump. Jumper’s
weights are recorded before the jump to use different cords for
different categories of weights. The Green, Red and Black cords are used
for the lightest, the heavier and the heavy weights accordingly. It is a
perfect way of wild adventure.
