At a glance
Trip overview
Our team offers a straightforward, high-adrenaline descent down the Pokhara Zip Flyer, engineered by TM LLC, USA. This 1.8 km cable drops rapidly at speeds reaching 140 km/h, providing an intense rush for travelers based in Pokhara.
While not a traditional mountain trek, this day excursion suits visitors looking to combine high-speed recreation with iconic Himalayan viewpoints. As we launch from the ridge, we catch clear sightings of Mt. Macchapucchre, Mt. Annapurna, and Mt. Dhaulagiri rising above the Pokhara Valley.
Safety remains our primary focus during this activity. Our logistics ensure thorough pre-flight briefings, harness checks, and secure transport to and from the launch site, allowing participants to focus entirely on the flight.
