Quick answer

Couples can jump together at three sites in Nepal. Only the 80 m tower in Hemja, near Pokhara, offers a true tandem bungee, at NPR 9,500 (about USD 62) for two. At Kushma (228 m, billed as the world's second-highest bungee) and at The Last Resort on the Bhote Koshi (160 m), you each jump the bungee alone and ride the tandem canyon swing together. Each person usually needs to weigh about 40 to 100 kg, and under-18s need parental consent.

Are you and your partner adventure lovers? It might be the time that you have always wanted to try Bungee Jumping but haven't got an opportunity. If yes, then what could be a better place than Nepal? Your couple's dream comes to life if you just research and take your next move in this mountainous country that provides thrilling landscapes for adventurous bungee jumping.

Nepal is a well-known country for its thrilling landscapes and adventure sports. And this might be the perfect destination to conquer your fears together. Not only will you experience one of the world's most adventurous sports, but you'll also get to do it in one of the most beautiful countries on earth.

Here we cover where couples can jump together in Nepal, what it costs, the weight and age limits, and how to stay safe.

What Is Couple Bungee Jumping?

Couple Bungee Jumping is an activity where a couple jumps together from a tall bridge or building, connected by a bungee cord. It's a great way to overcome your fears and build trust and intimacy with your partner.

In Nepal, “couple bungee” can mean two different things. A tandem bungee puts both of you on one cord, strapped together, and you bounce back up after the fall. A tandem swing also drops you together, but the rope is fixed to the side of the gorge, so the freefall turns into a long arc across the canyon instead of a bounce. Pokhara offers a tandem bungee. Kushma and The Last Resort on the Bhote Koshi offer tandem swings, and there each of you does the bungee itself on your own.

Bungee jumping is an exhilarating experience that requires a certain degree of courage and fortitude. A joint bungee jump can be a truly unforgettable bonding experience for couples seeking an adrenaline rush together. As they stand on the precipice, peeking down into the deep below, they'll feel the rush of wind and the flutter of their hearts, all the while knowing they have each other for support and encouragement. As they take the leap of faith, hand in hand, they'll dive toward the earth at dizzying paces before being pulled back up by the bungee cord. The experience and the sense of accomplishment will be something they'll remember for a lifetime.

It is far less dangerous than it sounds when the operator is well run. Once you leave the platform there is no stopping, so the safety work all happens before the jump: the weigh-in, the harness checks and the briefing. It's still a thrilling experience that will leave you feeling alive and excited.

Couple bungee jumping is the perfect choice if you're looking for an adventure to share with your partner. You can make your anniversary, special occasion, or even a regular day extra special for your partner through couple bungee jumping. Forget about all the everyday problems and enjoy being with each other when you go on a trip with someone you love. You will see your partner in a new way and feel closer to them.

What Makes Nepal a Great Destination for Couple Bungee Jumping?

The world is constantly changing, and it's time for you to get changed and developed, too. Today, bungee jumping is not limited to a few destinations in Europe, New Zealand, and America. It has finally found its home in the country with the world's tallest mountain. The majestic Himalayan mountains of Nepal create an unparalleled opportunity for couples to conquer their fears and create unforgettable memories. 

Whether you're an adventure seeker or not, bungee jumping in Nepal is the perfect way to experience a new dare. You'll be surrounded by towering peaks, rushing waterfalls, and lush forests, making for an unforgettable backdrop as you take the plunge with your loved one.

The two of you walk to the platform's edge, enjoying the fantastic view. You feel your heart racing as you take the final step off the platform, adrenaline coursing through your veins as you plummet down. The seconds seem like hours as you oscillate between freefall and suspension before finally being jerked back up. You feel alive and exhilarated. It's a feeling that's hard to replicate.

This thrill brings people back to bungee jumping again and again. The sense of danger and excitement draws people in, making them want to conquer their fears and feel the rush of adrenaline.

Best Places for Couple Bungee Jumping in Nepal

The Last Resort, Bhote Koshi (160 m)

For couples seeking an exhilarating and romantic adventure, The Last Resort, located on the Bhote Koshi River in Sindhupalchok close to the Nepal-Tibet border, stands out as the premier destination for bungee jumping in Nepal. It is Nepal's oldest bungee site, about 100 km and a 3 to 4 hour drive from Kathmandu.

The bungee jumping location is 160 meters high, from a steel suspension bridge over the gorge, providing breathtaking views of the mountains and the valley. Couples jump the bungee one at a time and can ride the canyon swing together. This is a different Bhote Koshi from the Rasuwa river that flooded in July 2025 and August 2026, and we have seen no report of damage at the bungee site.

Kushma, Parbat (228 m)

Another popular location for couple bungee jumping in Nepal is the picturesque town of Kushma. The 228-meter (748 ft) Kushma Bungee Jump, billed as the second-highest bungee in the world after the Macau Tower (233 m), leaps from a roughly 520-metre suspension bridge across the Kali Gandaki gorge between Kushma and Balewa and offers an adrenaline-pumping experience while providing a breathtaking view of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. It opened in late 2020. Couples can do the tandem swing from the same bridge.

Pokhara tower bungee, Hemja (80 m)

In addition to the Last Resort and Kushma, HighGround Adventures offers an exciting opportunity for couples to experience a tower bungee jump from about 80 m (262 ft) in Hemja, about 20 minutes from Pokhara's Lakeside. It is the only site in Nepal that sells a true tandem bungee, with two people on one cord.

These locations offer an array of bungee jumping experiences, each with unique characteristics and breathtaking views. Whether it is the panoramic vistas of Pokhara, the deep Kali Gandaki gorge at Kushma, or the forested Bhote Koshi canyon near the Tibet border, these locations provide couples with an exciting and unforgettable adventure.

What Does Couple Bungee Jumping Cost in Nepal?

Prices are refreshingly reasonable by world standards. At Kushma, a solo jump has been sold at about NPR 7,500 (about USD 49), with photo and video packages extra, and the couple option is the tandem canyon swing, priced at NPR 12,000 for two when it opened. It takes two people together with a combined weight limit of roughly 128 to 145 kg, depending on who you ask. At the Bhote Koshi, The Last Resort runs day trips from Kathmandu (a 3 to 4 hour drive) with jump-plus-lunch packages, which agents usually sell for about USD 90 to 130 with transport. Pokhara's tower jump is the most budget-friendly and the easiest to slot into a lakeside holiday: a solo jump starts at NPR 5,000 (about USD 33) and the tandem bungee costs NPR 9,500 (about USD 62) for the pair, with Lakeside pickup included. Kushma sits about 60 km west of Pokhara, a 2 to 3 hour drive, so all three sites pair naturally with a honeymoon itinerary. Jumps run year-round, with October to May offering the most reliable weather.

If you'd rather not organise it yourselves, our 4-day Bungee Jumping in Nepal package takes you from Kathmandu to the Bhote Koshi, from USD 595 on a group departure. Swotah can arrange it as a private trip for the two of you, or add Kushma or Pokhara to a longer honeymoon.

Safety Tips for Couple Bungee Jumping in Nepal

You're ready to take the plunge and get some adrenaline pumping, but make sure you're staying safe when you do couple bungee jumping in Nepal. Consider these safety tips before you jump:

1. Ask the operator how often the cords and harnesses are inspected and replaced, and pick one that answers clearly.

2. Familiarize yourself with the safety protocols of the location, and pay attention to your guide's directions.

3. Make sure your bodies are warm by doing some light stretching beforehand, it helps reduce the chances of muscle tears or strains.

4. Practice visualization techniques to help ease your fears, such as focusing on an object or visualizing the jump positively.

5. Try one person first, so if someone is too scared, they can back out without causing a scene.

6. Listen to the safety briefing and instructions the bungee jumping company provides, and ask any questions.

7. Follow the weight and height restrictions for the bungee jump, and reveal any pre-existing medical conditions to the bungee jumping company if you or your partner have any. 

8. Opt-out is perfectly fine if you or your partner are anxious or uncertain about the jump. 

9. Make sure your travel insurance covers bungee jumping, and know how you would get emergency help. Kushma and the Bhote Koshi are hours from a big hospital.

Following these important tips ensures that your couple's bungee jumping experience in Nepal will be enjoyable and safe.

What to Expect When You Arrive at Your Jump Site

When you arrive at your jump site, you'll first notice the breathtaking scenery, the snow-capped mountains, the lush green hills, and the rivers winding their way through the deep valleys. The thrill of this experience will only increase as you prepare for your jump.

Before you start, there's usually a safety briefing that explains the safety features of your chosen bungee operator and gives you an idea of what to expect when jumping. After that, it's time to get decked out in harnesses and other gear, with one of the operators accompanying you to ensure everything is adequately secured.

Frequently Asked Questions About Couple Bungee Jumping in Nepal

You may have questions about couple bungee jumping in Nepal. We want to provide you with the answers so you can be as prepared and comfortable as possible for the jump!

Q: When does the bungee jump open? 

A: The adrenaline-filled couple bungee jumping in Nepal is open all year round. Depending on the weather, seasonal changes may occur, so check the opening times before jumping.

Q: What are safety measures taken? 

A: The established operators weigh every jumper, choose the cord for that weight, double-check harnesses and connections, and give a briefing before anyone steps out. Jumpmasters stay with you on the platform. Swotah doesn't run the jumps itself. We book you with the operator and handle the transport.

Q: How long will my jump be? 

A: The freefall lasts about 3 to 5 seconds, depending on the site. Add the bounces and the time it takes to lower you and bring you back, and the whole jump is over in a few minutes. Plan a half day at Pokhara and a full day at Kushma or the Bhote Koshi.

Q: What are the weight limits for the couple while Bungee is Jumping?

A: Each person usually needs to weigh between about 40-45 kg and 95-100 kg. Pokhara asks 45 to 100 kg for its tandem bungee. For the Kushma couple swing, the combined weight for the two of you is capped at roughly 128 to 145 kg, depending on the source, so check before you travel.

Q: Are there any age restrictions for bungee jumping in Nepal?

A: Yes. Pokhara takes jumpers from 12 to 65 who are taller than 130 cm, and anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian to sign in person. Kushma and The Last Resort also ask for parental permission for under-18s. Pregnancy, heart conditions, high blood pressure, epilepsy and recent injuries usually rule you out.

Q: Can I take photographs or videos while bungee jumping? 

A: Many bungee jumping operators in Nepal offer the option to purchase photographs or videos of your jump. Most don't let you carry a phone or loose camera on the jump, because anything you drop falls a long way.

Q: Is it necessary to have experience in a couple bungee jumping?

A: Couples don't need any prior bungee jumping experience as long as they are willing to follow instructions provided by the operator and comply with safety guidelines.
