Adventure Activities in Kushma
The world's tallest bungee, a giant canyon swing and gorge thrills over the Kali Gandaki — adventure in Kushma.
Kushma is Nepal's adventure capital, and this is the round-up of its gorge thrills. The extraordinary depth of the Kali Gandaki gorge lets operators run a bungee and a giant swing among the highest in the world, all an easy day trip from Pokhara — plus ziplines, combos and the airy walk across record suspension bridges. Here is what to do and how to fit it into your trip.
The short answer
The two headliners are the Kushma bungee jump, a roughly 228-metre plunge billed as the world's second-highest, and the giant Kushma canyon swing, which arcs you in a long pendulum across the gorge. Operators bundle them in combo packages and also offer ziplines over the canyon. For a free thrill, walk the Kushma–Balewa suspension bridge or the Kushma–Gyadi bridge high above the river, and take in the depth from the Kali Gandaki gorge viewpoint.
