Standing on the suspension bridge above the Bhote Koshi River Gorge, 160 meters above the water, everything gets very focused. Then you jump! The Last Resort is Nepal's first commercial bungee site, located about 100 km from Kathmandu near the Nepal-Tibet border. Himalayan Ecstasy Nepal runs this as a 1-day guided trip, covering pickup, drop, lunch at the resort, and all jump fees.

The Last Resort sits in Sindhupalchok District, about 100 km northeast of Kathmandu on the Araniko Highway. You follow the Bhote Koshi River upstream for roughly 3 to 4 hours.
The gorge narrows and steepens as you go. By the time you arrive, the setting has already made its impression!
The jump platform is built into a suspension bridge directly above the gorge. At 160 meters, the freefall ranks among Asia's top 10 highest bungee sites.
Nepal's Kushma bungee over the Kaligandaki River has since reached 228 meters. Still, Bhotekoshi remains the country's original bungee site, with over two decades of continuous operation.
One of New Zealand's leading bungee consultants designed the site. Swiss engineers built the bridge specifically for bungee operations, meeting a 4x safety standard with a loading capacity of 41,500 kg.
Jump masters hold international training credentials! They inspect equipment regularly, and every participant completes a weight assessment and safety briefing before the jump.
Which Bungee Jump Should You Do?
Nepal has two major bungee options worth knowing about before you book. One is here at Bhotekoshi. The other is the Kushma bungee in Gandaki Province, above the Kaligandaki River near Pokhara.
If you are based in Kathmandu and want to do this in a single day, Bhotekoshi is the clear choice. The Last Resort is 100 km from the city, the logistics are simple, and the experience is properly intense on its own.
If you are already traveling to Pokhara or planning an extended trip in that direction, the Kushma jump makes far more sense. We run a separate package for that.
Trying to travel from Kathmandu to Kushma and back in one day is not realistic. So if Kathmandu is your base and you want a full day of this kind of adventure, this is where you jump!
What the Day Looks Like
You meet at the departure point in Kathmandu early in the morning. The drive follows the Araniko Highway and passes through Dhulikhel. From there, the road traces the Bhote Koshi River all the way to the resort entrance.
After check-in, jump masters measure your weight and walk you through the safety briefing. Different cords are used for different weight ranges, so this step is not optional.
Jump masters then lead groups out to the bridge. When your turn comes, you walk to the edge, look down 160 meters at the river, and jump!
The freefall lasts a few seconds. After that, the cord brings you back. Most people describe the rebound as the part they were not expecting.
Buffet lunch at the resort follows the jump. The return drive gets you back to Kathmandu in the late afternoon.
Requirements:
