Bungy Jumping in Nepal
Bungy jumping as legend goes was dreamed-up in New Zealand by New Zealand ‘Evel Knievel’ AJ Hackett Bungy. And owning Kiwis reputation of crazy adventure lovers it is probably true.
Why bungy jumping?
There is no good reason for it. It is another thrill. It is scary and exciting. It is usually done in beautiful mountainous scenery. So why not?
It has arrived to Nepal and there is an absolutely beautiful setup in Last Resort on the bridge over a stunning gorge near the border with Tibet. Naturally it was designed by New Zealand bungy jumping consultants and it is claimed to be mishap-proof. Let’s hope so, as the operating agency takes the operation and the safety very seriously.
