Soaring Above the Himalayas: The Thrill of Pokhara Skydive

Pokhara, a gem located 200 kilometers west from Kathmandu, is extraordinarily alluring. Blessed with an abundance of natural beauty, this vibrant city is flanked by the panoramic Himalayan peaks of Annapurna, Manaslu, Dhaulagiri, and the sacred Machhapuchchhre, and adorned with emerald lakes. Known as the starting point for the iconic Annapurna Treks, Pokhara is a tourist hub frequented by thousands each year. But beyond its serene landscapes and trekking fame, Pokhara offers an electrifying adventure that blends elegance with excitement: the Pokhara Skydive, brought to you by Explore Himalaya Travel and Adventure with the crew members from Everest Skydive including both solo jump and tandem jump. Let’s dive into this thrilling experience that elevates Pokhara’s beauty to heart-pounding heights!

A Skydiving Adventure Like No Other

Following the success of the world’s highest skydiving event, Everest Skydive, Explore Himalaya introduces a standard yet exhilarating form of skydiving in Pokhara, Pokhara Skydive, at the Pame Lauruk drop zone, 11 km north of the iconic Phewa Lake. Imagine leaping from an AS 350 B3/B2 helicopter at altitudes of 12,500 to 13,000 feet, free-falling, and then gliding under a canopy with the majestic Himalayan peaks as your backdrop and the sprawling Pokhara Valley below. Your entire jump either solo jump or tandem jump is captured by a skilled camera flyer, ensuring every moment of this liberating experience is preserved forever.

Held annually in November, Pokhara Skydive is backed by the expert Everest Skydive Crew, renowned for their professionalism and safety standards. This event combines the thrill of skydiving with the unparalleled beauty of Pokhara, creating an adventure that’s as serene as it is sensational. In 2024, a historic milestone was achieved with the first solo jump by a Nepali woman, Sujeeta Shahi, adding a proud moment to the event’s legacy. The event’s success has set the stage for its return in November 2025.
