Jumping in Pokhara, explained.
Pokhara is Nepal's adventure capital and the launch point for one of the most dramatic tandem skydives on earth — three Himalayan ranges (Annapurna, Machhapuchhre/Fishtail, and Dhaulagiri) frame the freefall, with Phewa Lake and the city directly below. One thing to know before you plan: Pokhara Skydive is an annual event held in November only, confirmed by the operator, rather than a dropzone you can visit year-round. Exact dates are set once each year's crew is confirmed, so check with us before booking flights or accommodation around a jump. The tandem is USD 850, exiting an AS 350 helicopter at 11,000-13,000 ft, with video and photography included, and a female tandem master is available on request. Pokhara is a 30-minute domestic flight from Kathmandu (Buddha Air, Yeti Airlines) or a 6-hour scenic drive via Prithvi Highway. Most jumpers combine it with paragliding from Sarangkot, the Annapurna Base Camp trek, or a 2-3 day Phewa Lake stay. The Everest expedition jump (USD 22,000-30,000) is a separate Syangboche-based product.
Skydiving in Pokhara: your questions.
How much does the Pokhara skydive cost?
Pokhara Skydive tandems are USD 850, with video and photography included, exiting at 11,000-13,000 ft with the Annapurna range as the backdrop.
When can you skydive in Pokhara?
November only. The operator confirmed to us that Pokhara Skydive is an annual event held in November, not a year-round dropzone — it does not fly in other months. Exact dates are set once each year's crew is confirmed, so check with us before booking flights around a jump.
Is the Pokhara jump beginner-friendly?
Yes — a conventional tandem with a licensed instructor; the altitude and mountain scenery are what set it apart. A female tandem master is available on request, subject to crew confirmation, which is rare anywhere in the sport.
Pokhara or Everest Skydive — what's the difference?
Pokhara is a USD 850 helicopter tandem at 11,000-13,000 ft over the Annapurna valley, run once a year in November; Everest Skydive is a USD 22,000 expedition-style jump from up to 23,000 ft with oxygen near Syangboche. Same country, very different budgets.
