About This Experience
Pokhara Skydive (operated by Nepal Skydive) runs seasonal tandem operations from Pame Danda, a hilltop site just outside Pokhara in Nepal's western highlands — about 25 minutes by domestic flight from Kathmandu. Three pricing tiers structure the offering: Standard at $850 (single tandem with handycam video), Deluxe at $1,000, and Super Deluxe at $1,200 (higher exit altitude up to 16,000 ft and extended freefall). The Annapurna Massif, Machapuchare (Fishtail), and Phewa Lake form the backdrop on every jump. Operations run only during autumn (September–November) and spring (February–April) — the two stable-air windows when the high Himalayan thermals settle enough for safe canopy work. Early-morning slots are the norm. The operation is roughly ten years into running and serves as Nepal's accessible commercial tandem option, separate from Everest Skydive's expedition product. Aircraft are light fixed-wing turbines confirmed at booking. The right jump for travellers on the Annapurna trekking circuit (Pokhara is already the gateway hub for Annapurna Base Camp, Mardi Himal, Ghorepani), for couples or honeymooners adding a Himalayan tandem to a Nepal itinerary, and for skydivers wanting Himalayan views without the $25,000–$30,000 Everest expedition price point. Everest Skydive is the bucket-list extreme alternative for travellers chasing 21,000+ ft exits above the Khumbu — Pokhara is the practical entry to Himalayan tandem skydiving.
