Skydiving in Pokhara overview

Experience the breathtaking beauty of Pokhara from a completely different perspective with skydiving in Pokhara, Nepal. Surrounded by the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Mountain ranges and overlooking beautiful Phewa Lake, Pokhara provides a spectacular setting for one of Nepal’s most exciting aerial adventures.

Adventure Trail Nepal can arrange a Pokhara skydiving experience as part of your Nepal holiday, including transportation, accommodation and other activities according to your selected itinerary. The actual skydiving activity is operated by a professional skydiving team and is subject to weather, aircraft availability, safety requirements and the operator’s confirmed schedule.

Depending on the selected program, participants can experience tandem or solo skydiving in Pokhara. Tandem skydiving is particularly suitable for first-time participants, as you jump with a qualified tandem instructor who manages the parachute and technical aspects of the jump.

From the moment you leave the aircraft until your parachute opens, you will experience an unforgettable free fall above the Pokhara Valley. As you descend beneath the parachute, you can enjoy spectacular views of Phewa Lake, Pokhara city, green hills and the Himalayan panorama.

Why Go Skydiving in Pokhara?

Pokhara is one of Nepal’s most popular adventure destinations, combining beautiful natural scenery with a wide choice of outdoor activities. The city lies close to the Annapurna region and offers views of some of the Himalayas’ most recognizable peaks, including Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Annapurna and Dhaulagiri.

Skydiving adds another dimension to a visit to Pokhara. Instead of experiencing the mountains only from the ground, you can see the valley, lake and Himalayan landscape from the air.

Nepal Tourism Board also identifies Pokhara as a destination for skydiving, highlighting the Himalayan scenery and Phewa Lake as part of the experience.

Pokhara Skydiving Experience

Your skydiving adventure begins with transportation to the designated activity location. Before the jump, the professional skydiving team will provide a safety briefing and explain the jumping procedure.

After completing the required preparation, you will board the aircraft or helicopter used for the operation. The aircraft climbs to the planned jump altitude, which can vary according to the operator, aircraft, weather and operational conditions.

Once the jump is cleared, you will make your descent over the Pokhara area. Tandem participants are accompanied by an experienced tandem instructor throughout the jump.

The landing location and exact flight and jump arrangements are determined by the skydiving operator according to the day’s operating conditions.

Capture Your Skydiving Memories

Professional photographs and video recordings may be available as an optional service. If you would like to capture your experience, we can arrange the available photography or video package through the skydiving operator, subject to availability.

Important Information Before Skydiving in Pokhara

Skydiving is an adventure activity involving inherent risks. Participants must follow the instructions of the professional skydiving team and meet the operator’s requirements.

The exact jump altitude, aircraft, jump location, operating dates and free-fall duration can vary according to weather, aircraft availability, aviation requirements and the specific skydiving program. Published Pokhara aviation notices have previously listed skydiving operations from the Bamdi and Pame Lauruk area with take-off at around 13,000 ft AMSL, while current operators advertise different jump altitudes depending on the program.

For this reason, Adventure Trail Nepal does not present one fixed altitude or free-fall time as applicable to every Pokhara skydiving experience.

Skydiving operations may also be seasonal or event-based. Current 2026 programs advertised by operators show specific operating periods rather than continuous year-round operation, so availability should be confirmed before booking flights and accommodation around the activity.

Professional photography and video services may be available as an additional option. Availability depends on the skydiving operator and the selected package.
