Skydive over the Himalayas 🏔️

Pokhara, Nepal—aka "Heaven of Nepal"—offers something no other skydiving spot can: freefall with the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna mountain ranges as your backdrop.

Snow-capped peaks, serene lakes, lush valleys, all visible during your jump. It's unreal.

Why Pokhara is different

  • Panoramic views of 8,000m+ Himalayan peaks

  • Jumping from a helicopter (not a plane) at 13,000 feet

  • More intimate experience with smaller groups

  • USPA-certified instructors with 10+ years experience

"Skydiving over the Himalayas isn't just a jump—it's a perspective shift."

The helicopter jump experience 🚁

Unlike most dropzones that use planes, Pokhara uses helicopters. Why does this matter?

  • Better views during ascent (helicopters can position perfectly)

  • Smaller groups = more personalized experience

  • Unique takeoff/landing vibe

"Jumping out of a helicopter over the Himalayas just hits different. The whole experience feels more intimate and epic at the same time."

Plus, saying "I jumped out of a helicopter over the Himalayas" is a pretty solid conversation starter.

What to expect

  • Safety briefing & equipment check

  • Weather assessment (this matters in the mountains)

The experience:

Why Pokhara?

Look, you can skydive lots of places. But jumping over the Himalayas in Nepal? That's a different level. The combination of professional ops, insane natural beauty, and the whole "I just fell through the sky over Mount Annapurna" story makes this bucket-list worthy.

"First-timer or experienced jumper—doesn't matter. This one stays with you."
