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.

I had the most amazing experience with Tibetan Encounter last April. I wanted to book a tour lastminute, and even though I was the only guest for that time slot, they arranged the tour for me. Thupten showed me around Tibetan monastries and villages, and told me so much about the Tibetan communities in Nepal that it dazzled me. He was very honest and straightforward, and I found his view on Buddhism very interesting. Also, it was an amazing experience to be able to talk to a buddhist monk, and try all kinds of Tibetan food. Highly recommended!

Authentic and enriching! ​Had a fantastic afternoon with The Tibetan Encounter Day Tours. Witnessing the Buddhist monastery prayers was a powerful, unforgettable moment, and sharing authentic Tibetan food was the perfect way to wrap up the experience. Great pacing, incredible insights, and warm hospitality throughout. Worth every minute!

I did the “Morning Tour” which ment I got the full experience visiting two Tibetan villages. The guide was very knowledgeable and explained each stop in detail. Visiting the locations alone or with a large tour group would definitely not provide the full experience. On the day my tour was the Tibetan doctor was unable to reach Pokhara due to travel disruption. However the guide himself was able to explain the topic himself and answer all our questions so I didn’t feel as if I missed anything. He also invited the members of the tour group who were available to come back the next day to meet the doctor.

I did the full day tour in September this year. Mr Thupten is fully engaged with us on the tour. He asks that we hear him as he talks Of Tibetans that had to Leave Tibet, and of their lives now in Nepal. And that we put together Our own understanding of the situation. Office staff Samita and Alice got back to me promptly with questions I had.

I had a wonderful and meaningful experience with Thupten on the Tibetan Culture Tour. He is extremely knowledgeable about Tibetan culture and Buddhism, and explained beautifully how Tibetan traditions have been preserved while living in Nepal. One highlight was speaking with a young monk, which gave me a deeper perspective on Buddhist philosophy and how it can take many years of learning and practice to truly understand the teachings before sharing them with others. Thupten also explained Buddhist teachings in a simple and accessible way. The tour ended with a warm visit to a Tibetan family, where we enjoyed traditional snacks and drinks. Thank you, Thupten, for sharing your knowledge and helping me understand both Buddhist teachings and how Tibetan families continue to preserve their culture in Nepal. A truly insightful and memorable experience!
