Skydiving in Pokhara is one of the most thrilling ways to experience Nepal’s mountains. In fact, it gives you a bird’s-eye view that no trek or flight can match. This guide covers everything about your Tandem Skydive Nepal experience — from Freefall Pokhara thrills to Skydiving Pokhara price details. That way, you’ll know exactly what to expect before you jump. Whether you’re an adrenaline seeker ticking off a bucket-list adventure, or a first-timer curious about tandem skydiving, this is an experience you’ll never forget.

How Booking Works With Us

We work with our trusted local partner, who operates Skydiving in Pokhara. When you book with us, we arrange your booking and coordinate the necessary details with the operator on your behalf. This costs you nothing extra — you’ll pay the exact same price as booking directly with the operator.

The operator manages the safety equipment and the ride itself. Our role, however, is simply to assist with your booking. In addition, we make sure the process stays smooth, convenient, and carefully arranged for you.

Insurance
Guests participating in adventure activities are required to have appropriate travel insurance covering the activity. In addition, insurance coverage provided by the operator, where applicable, will depend on the respective operator and activity.

About Skydiving in Pokhara

Pokhara is one of the few places in the world where you can skydive with a full Himalayan panorama as your backdrop. During your descent, you’ll see the Annapurna range, Machapuchare (Fishtail), and the Pokhara Valley all at once. The activity runs throughout the day, weather permitting. This is because clear skies and calm winds are essential for a safe jump.

As a Tandem Skydive Nepal experience, your jump is done alongside a certified instructor. Therefore, no prior experience is needed — just the willingness to jump. Every jump also features the signature Freefall Pokhara rush before the canopy opens. Because Pokhara offers skydiving over Annapurna with unmatched clarity, you’ll see peaks like Machapuchare up close. Skydiving is just one of the many Best Activities in Pokhara for thrill-seekers.

What to Expect

Here’s how a typical skydiving session unfolds:

  • Pick-up: We arrange pick-up within the Lakeside area (pick-up outside Lakeside is available for an extra charge based on distance).
  • Briefing & gear-up: A short safety briefing and gear fitting before boarding the aircraft.
  • The flight up: Ascend by helicopter to 13,000 ft, taking in spectacular views of Pokhara Valley before your skydive — this is part of your overall activity time.
  • Freefall: This is the moment of true Freefall Pokhara — 45–50 seconds of free-falling and skydiving over Annapurna, watching the peaks rush past. It’s the most intense part of the jump.
  • Canopy flight & landing: 6–7 minutes of a calmer, scenic canopy ride down to the landing zone, giving you time to take in the Himalayan views before touching down.
  • Total flight duration: Approximately 12 minutes in the air.
  • Total activity duration: 2–3 hours, including transport, briefing, and the jump itself.
  • Drop-off: Back to your Lakeside pick-up point once you’re done.

One of the best experiences I’ve had in Nepal. The Tibetan Encounter is much more than a simple guided tour: it is a real immersion into Tibetan culture and the life of the Tibetan refugee community in Nepal. The guide has an incredible depth of knowledge and explains everything with genuine passion: Tibetan philosophy, religion, lifestyle, social organization, history, and the experience of Tibetan refugees in Nepal. You don’t just visit places — you really start to understand the culture and the people. At times, it almost feels like taking a small journey into Tibet. One of the most special parts of the experience was having the opportunity to meet and talk with a young monk who lives in the monastery, learning directly from him about monastic life and his daily routine. You also get to try traditional Tibetan butter tea and experience aspects of Tibetan culture that you would probably never discover on your own. What impressed me most was the quality and depth of the whole experience. Every question is answered, nothing feels rushed or scripted, and everything is explained with knowledge, passion and authenticity. I highly recommend The Tibetan Encounter to anyone who wants to truly understand Tibetan culture rather than simply visit a few monasteries. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Nepal.

We did the Full-Day Tibetan Cultural Tour with Thupten: it's a highly recommended experience, a must for anyone passing through Pokhara. Thupten gave us so much information and answered our thousand questions with passion and patience, even suggesting how to deepen our knowledge of Tibetan culture through books and culinary ideas we could look for even back in our own hometowns. He took us to the Tibetan settlements and told us the history of his people since the time of the diaspora. We learned how the Tibetan communities live here in Pokhara, and how the settlements are organized. We visited a Tibetan medicine doctor and were able to ask him a lot about the natural remedies he uses. We tasted typical dishes from Tibetan culinary tradition and also saw how carpets are made. What we enjoyed most out of all these experiences was delving into Buddhist philosophy, talking with the monks about their life in the monastery, and witnessing their prayers. Thupten was a passionate and knowledgeable guide, always ready to explain everything and a very good storyteller. He has a deep knowledge of Tibetan culture and Buddhist philosophy: to truly understand this culture, these mountains and this spirituality, spending the day with him was truly essential. Thank you so much!

I really enjoyed this tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about the Tibetan community in Nepal. It was a very well-organized experience that offered a deeper understanding of Tibetan history, culture and daily life. Visiting the monasteries, talking to a young monk, learning about Buddhism, seeing a live sand mandala, trying traditional Tibetan food and hearing the stories behind the community made the day both interesting and meaningful. Thupten was very knowledgeable, friendly and happy to answer all my questions, which made the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for something beyond the typical tourist attractions and want to better understand an important part of Nepal’s cultural diversity, this tour is a wonderful choice. Thank you for such an insightful and memorable day. Tashi Delek! 🥰🙏🏼

We had a wonderful experience and it was a fantastic tour. The knowledge and observations were very insightful and thought provoking. The tour is a sublime balance of many things including identity, philosophy and daily life. It was a pleasure to sit with a monk in a beautiful setting and hear his story directly. Our guides knowledge, story telling and ability to field questions no matter how diverse or sensitive was so encouraging that we talked nonstop as every angle was another fascinating world.
