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.

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.
