Skydiving in Pokhara

Imagine stepping out of a helicopter at 13,000 ft for skydiving over Annapurna. As you free-fall above the range, Phewa Lake shrinks to a blue dot below you. 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.

The tour was amazing! Much deeper than many other superficial experiences, Thupten makes sure his guests understand every aspect of the Tibetan cultur, religion, ways of life, refugee status, cuisine, education, medicine and relationship with their homeland. It’s impressive how much genuinely interesting information Thupten is able to convey, and contact with several Tibetans makes it even more tangible and rich. Since it’s very challenging to visit Tibet directly, this experience is possibly the closest one can get. Absolutely recommended, and thank you Thupten!

Two Fantastic Experiences with Tibetan Encounters - Chitwan & Tibetan Culture Tibetan Encounters organised a 2-night trip to Chitwan National Park for my daughter and I. They sorted the entire package (accommodation, meals and activities) and even arranged our bus journeys from Kathmandu to Chitwan and onwards to Pokhara. Alice was incredibly helpful and kept in touch with us the whole time ensuring we made it safely and were enjoying ourselves. Thank you for making the experience so easy and stress free! I also did the Full Day Tibetan Cultural Tour with Mr.Thupten and would highly recommend it. The day was organised incredibly well. We visited Tibetan settlements and monasteries, learnt about carpet making, enjoyed traditional dishes (thenthuk, tsampa, butter tea etc), experienced the afternoon prayer chanting and even more. It was clear how passionate Mr. Thupten is when it comes to sharing the stories, traditions and experiences of the Tibetan community. If you have any interest what so ever in Tibetan culture then you have to do this tour!

You. Should. Book. This. Tour. I did the Afternoon Tibetan Monastery visit and it was really interesting! When you enter the Monastery, it's a totally different world. I keep this memory close to me. Thank you Thupten!

I had the privilege to do the Afternoon Tibetan Cultural Tour with Thupten as my guide. He’s very knowledgeable on the matter and very keen to explain everything and answer every question I had. You can really see how the preservation of Tibetan culture and traditions are very important to him. During the tour, I had the opportunity to visit two monasteries (talk with a monk and attend the Saturday afternoon prayer), plus having a proper Tibetan snack. The food especially, consumed in the house of Tibetan refugees, was accompanied by more stories, insights on Tibetan history and customs and past and future perspectives of Tibetan people around the world. Thank you for the wonderful and very interesting experience!

Ein wundervoller Tag mit sehr wertvollen Informationen. Es lohnt sich für alle, die einen tiefen Einblick in die Kultur Tibets wünschen, ebenso für alle, die an den Flüchtlingen aus Tibet interessiert sind. Wir besuchten zwei Flüchtlingslager nahe Pokhara. Wir besuchten einen Arzt, der tibetanische Medizin studiert hat und jedem im Einzelgespräch eine Diagnose machte. Man konnte auch traditionelle Medizin kaufen. Am Nachmittag trafen wir einen Mönch, der über sein Leben und Alltag berichtete. Wir sahen 4 Tempel und durften beim traditionellen tibetanisch-budhistischem Gebet anwesend sein. Wir genossen traditionelle Mahlzeiten und Buttertee. Ich kann diesen Ausflug zu 100% weiter empfehlen. Vielen Dank und Namaste🙏

One of the best experiences I’ve had since arriving in Pokhara. I did the full-day Tibetan Experience tour and found the whole day extremely interesting, with visits to two Tibetan settlements and two monasteries. Thupten was an excellent guide—extremely knowledgeable, welcoming and happy to answer questions. He has a wonderful way of explaining things, making Tibetan history, culture and Buddhist philosophy easy to understand. I learned so much about the experiences of Tibetan communities and the importance of keeping their traditions alive. A particular highlight was speaking with a monk about his daily life, education and reasons for joining the monastery. He was very open to questions, and having that conversation gave me an insight I would never have gained simply by visiting on my own. The day ended with butter tea in a Tibetan family home, which was a lovely way to finish. A unique and memorable experience that gave me a much deeper understanding of Tibetan life and culture. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Pokhara. Thank you, Thupten, for such a fascinating day!

Nous avons participé à un tour d’une journée avec Thupten. Tout s’est très bien passé, cette journée était riche en informations et en apprentissages. Les activités étaient variées. Allant de l'histoire du Tibet, à la religion ainsi qu’a leurs coutumes et gastronomie. Nous recommandons beaucoup !
