There are three bungee jumping sites in Nepal.
The first one is in the Suspension bridge of Bhote Koshi River, The Last Resort, with a 160m drop from the bridge. Suspension Bridge in Bhote Koshi is the world’s second-highest bungee jumping site right after AJ Hackett Macau Tower in China.
 And the second one is in Hemja, Pokhara, with a height of 70m from the tower.
Bhote Koshi is the upper river course of the Sun Koshi River, which is famous for Bungee Jumping, Rafting, and Kayaking.
As you walk towards the jumping arena, your heart starts to bead faster and faster. And as you reach the arena, the instructor says, “Don’t look down,” but you intend to take a glance and “No, No, No.” This is the first reaction and a real Bungee Jumping experience of every person who dares challenges.
