We have just returned from a 14 day, 11 day hike with Raj and Durga from Team Himalaya to Everest Base Camp. From the minute we landed to our departure we were properly looked after and cared for by Team Himalaya. The trek to and from Everest Base Camp was wonderful, our guides and porters really looked after us and were incredibly knowledgeable. In Nepal things can go wrong especially with flights to and from Lukla but Team responded magnificently and found alternative solutions. If this is on your bucket list as ours and you are looking for a company to organise this with I would 100% recommend Raj.
Nepal has carved a niche for itself among the world’s adrenaline junkies for its breathtaking, heart-pounding bungee experience. While the sport of bungee jumping is not exclusive to Nepal, the ultimate thrill of plunging off a suspension bridge over the river canyon can now be experienced in Tato Pani, on the Nepal-Tibet border. The exhilarating jump takes place from a 166m-wide, amazing steel suspension bridge that spans a deep valley over the ferocious Bhote Koshi River. The bungee activity was designed by one of New Zealand’s top bungee consultants and is undertaken by some of the most seasoned jump masters in the business. If the thrill of plunging towards the roaring Bhote Koshi isn’t enough for you, the region also offers the world’s highest canyon bungee swing from the same spot. To add to that, the place boasts spectacular scenery, with dense jungle covering the top of the cliff.
Similarly, bungee jumping is now also offered in Hemja, Pokhara. It is the country’s first and only tower bungee, high-ground bungee, and swing, offering various bungee-jumping options. The location also offers amazing views of the surrounding Himalayas, hills, and rivers. It is located just 20 minutes away from Pokhara’s lakeside.
