About the Zipline in Pokhara

The ZipFlyer in Pokhara begins at Sarangkot, high above the city, and drops riders toward the valley floor below. Because of its steep angle and long cable, Red Bull has recognized it as one of the most extreme zip-flying experiences in the world. This makes the Pokhara Zipline a favorite for thrill-seekers who want a short, high-intensity adventure without a long time commitment. If you’re looking for another high-adrenaline activity nearby, our ATV Ride in Pokhara is just as exciting. If you’d like to enjoy the famous Sarangkot sunrise view before your adrenaline ride, many guests combine it with our Sunrise at Sarangkot experience.

Starting from Sarangkot Hill, the Pokhara Zipline descends at high speed, making it one of the best zipline experiences in the world.

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.

The staff here is the best I've met in Nepal. They are so helpful, responsive and professional. It's hard for first time tourist to navigate the inDrive bargain here but with their help everything just became much easier and quite transparent without surprises!! I would highly recommend anyone coming to Pokhara to book your tours, transportation and bus tickets here.

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.

Authentische Führung und Einblick in das tibetische Leben der Flüchtlinge und Kultur in Nepal. Thupten zeigte auch den Alltag und Sorgen der tibetischen Diaspora auf. Vielen Dank Thupten für diesen Einblick und Perspektive.
