It is located within a reach of 3 hours outside Kathmandu and just 12 km away from the Tibet Border.
The Bungy bridge happens to be the only privately owned bridge in Nepal. It has been specially designed for bungy jumping with a 4x-safety factor and has a loading factor of 41,500 kg or 4.5 tons according to Swiss measurements. The Bhote Kosi appeared a mere stream! One would have to be totally insane or suicidal twisted to jump off the remarkable 500-ft (160 m) drop into the Bhote Kosi river gorge.
As the Bungy Master nicknamed Rock advised the jumpers to ensure that pockets were empty and the girls had no loose jewelry coming in the way, nervous laughter erupted from the crowd when he strongly advised against taking intoxicants just before the jump. Adrenaline was beginning to show as each jumper’s weights were recorded, to use different cords for different categories of weights. The Green, Red and Black cords are used for the lightest, the heavier and the heavyweights accordingly.
