About twenty five minutes. Phewa Lake shrinks and the snow line rises level with the door.
About fifty seconds near 200 km/h, with Machhapuchhre straight ahead.
About six quiet minutes over the lake. Your instructor may hand you the toggles.
Certificate in hand. Your video follows soon after.
8,000 ftWhy Pokhara
Machhapuchhre standing on its own, and the whole range from the moment the door opens.
We fly from Pame, twenty five minutes west of Lakeside, and land beside the water.
We still only fly when the air is clear and the wind behaves. That is what makes the view what it is.

3,000 ftWhat jumpers say
One of the best things I have ever done. The team made me feel safe from the first minute and the mountains are simply unreal from up there.
Everyone was so knowledgeable and calm. I was terrified in the van and laughing by the time we landed. I would do it again tomorrow.
If you are looking for an adrenaline rush with genuinely top notch service, this is the place. The video they handed me was excellent too.

2,000 ftMake a week of it
Pokhara is the gateway to the Annapurnas. Land in the morning, paddle Phewa by afternoon.
Row a painted doonga out to the island temple you flew over that morning.
Watch first light hit Machhapuchhre, then come down for your jump.
Tiered pagodas and royal courtyards, a short flight back from Pokhara.
1,000 ftWhen we fly
Nepal grants us permission every month of the calendar, so there is no closed season to wait for. Weather decides the day, not the month.
Highlighted months are our busiest, clearest weeks.

None at all. You are harnessed to an instructor who has done this thousands of times, and they handle the exit, the freefall, the canopy and the landing. Your only job is to arch and enjoy it. The briefing takes about twenty minutes and covers everything you need.
For the autumn season, four to six weeks is sensible because it books out first. Spring is quieter and two weeks is usually fine. We only fly twelve jumps a day, so the constraint is seats rather than notice.
Ninety five kilograms fully clothed. This is a certification limit on the tandem rigs, not a judgement about anyone, and it is not something we can stretch on the day. If you are close to it, message us before you book and we will talk it through honestly.
Eighteen, and we will check your passport or citizenship card at the dropzone. There is no upper limit as long as you are fit enough to lift your legs for landing and get in and out of a small aircraft.
Slots are limited to twelve jumps a day. Book now and we will hold your date while we confirm.
