Skydiving

Location and Best Time for Skydiving: Skydiving in Nepal is primarily centered around the city of Pokhara due to its stunning landscapes and accessibility. The best time for skydiving in Nepal is generally during the dry seasons, which are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). During these months, the weather is relatively stable, and the skies are clearer, offering better visibility for breathtaking views of the mountains.

Booking and Operators: To experience skydiving in Nepal, you have to consult with the operator if its available on your predetermined date.

Types of Jumps: Tandem skydiving is the most common option for tourists. Here's how the process generally works:

  1. Preparation: After booking, you'll receive instructions and information about the jump day. You might need to sign waivers and provide some basic medical information.

  2. Training: On the jump day, you'll receive a brief training session, usually lasting around 20-30 minutes. This session covers the basics of the jump, including body positioning, safety procedures, and how to communicate with your instructor during the jump.

  3. Gear Up: You'll be provided with a jumpsuit, harness, goggles, and any other necessary equipment. The instructor will help you put on the gear and make sure everything fits correctly.

  4. Aircraft Ascent: You'll board the aircraft that will take you to the jump altitude. The ascent provides an opportunity to take in the stunning views of the Himalayas and Pokhara.

  5. Jump: When you reach the desired altitude, you and your instructor will jump from the aircraft while securely attached. The instructor manages all aspects of the jump, allowing you to enjoy the experience.

  6. Freefall and Parachute Descent: You'll experience an exhilarating freefall for around 30-60 seconds, followed by the parachute deployment. During the parachute descent, you can enjoy the serene beauty of the landscape.

  7. Landing: Your instructor will guide the parachute to a safe landing spot, usually near the drop zone or a designated area.
