Pokhara: Paragliding, Bungy Jump and Zipline Combo Adventure
Three thrills in one Pokhara morning. This is a high-energy combo that mixes paragliding, a zip line, and (if you choose it) a 101-meter bungy jump, all framed by mountain scenery. What makes it especially interesting is how the day is paced: you start with a scenic aerial look, then move into action with a flight and gear-based thrills.
I love the way this experience gives you serious altitude without making you learn everything first. A ~30-minute paragliding flight with a pilot is the headline, and it’s long enough to actually take in Pokhara’s layout and the mountain walls around it. I also like that you get included paragliding photos and videos, so you leave with proof beyond shaky phone shots.
One consideration: the paragliding portion may cancel if weather turns nasty at the takeoff point, so build a little flexibility into your day. If you’re the type who hates plan-changes, that’s the main thing to keep in mind.
Key points to know before you go
- Sarangkot start: about 30 minutes of aerial viewpoints before you suit up for action
- Paragliding with a pilot: roughly 30 minutes in the air, designed for passengers, not expert flyers
- Mountain-and-lake scenery: you’ll be aiming your eyes at the Annapurna range area and Phewa Lake views
- Zipline after the flight (combo option): you’ll transfer directly from paragliding to the zip line experience
- Bungy is the big-ticket moment: a 101-meter jump in Pokhara, for those who want the maximum adrenaline
- Photos/video limits: paragliding media is included, but zipline and bungy photos/video cost extra

Pokhara’s Paragliding, Zipline, and Bungy Combo: What It Feels Like

This is the kind of day you plan for when you want your Pokhara trip to have a clear highlight, not just a list of pretty viewpoints. You’ll spend part of the experience flying over the valley, then shift gears into fast, ground-adjacent thrills on a zip line, and possibly end with a bungy jump that’s tall enough to make your brain do math.
The value here is the stacking effect. Instead of booking just one activity and hoping it sells the whole day, you’re getting multiple sensations: quiet glide time in the air, then quick motion across the landscape, then a sudden free-fall moment. If you’re coming to Pokhara specifically for adrenaline with real scenery, this combo fits that goal.
That said, it’s not a long, slow sightseeing day. It’s activity-first, scenery-on-the-way. I like that tradeoff, but you should too.

Sarangkot First: The 30-Minute Aerial Warmup

Your experience typically starts with pickup from your hotel area near Lakeside, with paragliding runs often beginning around 9:30 am. From there, you head toward Sarangkot, a famous viewpoint area that’s ideal for getting your bearings fast.
At Sarangkot, you get around 30 minutes of aerial views before the main action. This is more than a waiting room with scenery. It helps you calibrate your sense of scale—valley shape, lake position, and how the surrounding ridgelines line up.
A small practical tip: wear shoes and clothes that you can move around in comfortably. The experience includes ground transportation, viewpoint stops, and gear handoffs, and you don’t want to feel tugged around by uncomfortable footwear.
Paragliding in Pokhara: Your ~30-Minute Flight with Real Mountain Focus

Paragliding is the heart of this combo, and it’s built around a simple promise: you fly with a pilot, and you get enough time in the air to actually look. The flight is about 30 minutes when selected, which is often the sweet spot for first-timers. Long enough to relax into it, short enough that you don’t start counting every second.
From the sky, Pokhara’s layout becomes obvious. You’ll be looking over the valley and the area around Phewa Lake, with the mountain scenery dominating the horizon. The standout targets listed for this experience are views connected to the Annapurna massif and the Dhaulagiri range, and that’s exactly the kind of scenery you want to see from above.
What I like most is that the “wow” doesn’t rely only on speed or height. You’re also getting a visual story: ridge lines, valley curves, and the contrast between lake calm and mountain scale. Even if you don’t normally do extreme sports, this kind of flight has a calmer edge than you might expect.
One more thing from the guide experience: the paragliding experience uses English and Hindi support, and one traveler highlighted a pilot named Mr Sudip for a smooth, view-focused flight. That’s a good sign when you’re trying to stay relaxed while you do something intense.
Combo Flow: How Paragliding Leads Into the Zipline

If you choose the combo option, you don’t just do paragliding and then wait around. After the paragliding flight, you’ll get a transfer to the zip line portion.
This matters more than it sounds. It reduces the downtime between activities, which keeps the day from turning into a series of short thrills separated by long sits. It also helps you stay in your rhythm—wake up, view at Sarangkot, fly, then immediately transition to the next sensation.
The zip line is described as a ride where you zoom across lush valleys and dense forests, taking in Pokhara from a different perspective. You won’t be staring at the mountains like you do during paragliding, but you’ll get a fast, sweeping look at the terrain below.
Here’s a practical head-up: photos and videos for zipline are not included. One review specifically pointed out that zipline media carried an extra charge. If you want the full set of keepsakes, ask what’s included before you commit.
The Bungy Jump Moment: 101 Meters of Nerve
The bungy jump option is listed as a 101-meter jump, which is tall enough to be the main event even on an adrenaline-packed day. If you’re choosing the combo with bungy, you’re basically signing up for the highest-intensity, most dramatic part last.
Bungy in Pokhara also makes sense visually. You’re in a region famous for mountain scenery and lake settings, and the whole experience is framed by that big landscape energy. Even if you’re focused on the jump itself, the setting is part of the memory.
This is also where I’d be most honest about who should consider it. The operator lists that this experience is not suitable for people over 70, and it’s not suitable for visually impaired people. It’s also not suitable for children under 11 and under 14 (the age limits are listed this way in the provided info), plus babies under 1 year. If any of these apply, don’t try to push it.
If bungy is your only thrill in Pokhara, you might still enjoy the value here, but the combo becomes especially appealing when you want the full arc: sky glide, fast zip, then the leap.

Timing, Pickup, and Drop-Off: The Real-World 1.5 to 4 Hours
The overall duration is listed as 1.5 to 4 hours, and that range can make a difference in planning. The day can run shorter if you’re only doing one activity, and it stretches if you include the full combo.
Pickup is handled from your hotel area near Lakeside, and pickup is optional if you’re already close. For paragliding, pickup is around 9:30 am, and after paragliding there can be a transfer to the zip line when you pick the combo.
At the end, you’ll be dropped off at one of three locations: Lamachaur, Lakeside, or Pokhara. In practice, that helps if you’re staying anywhere around the main tourist zone, but it still means you should confirm where you’ll land relative to your hotel.
Language support is available with a live guide in English and Hindi, and the experience also notes private or small groups. Small groups usually mean less waiting and a smoother flow between activities.
Price and Value: Is $78 a Good Deal Here?
At $78 per person, this combo is priced to be accessible for a multi-activity day. The value comes from what’s included, not from hype.
What you get included (when the options match what you choose):
- Paragliding with a pilot (about 30 minutes when selected)
- Paragliding photos and videos (not zipline/bungy)
- Combo paragliding + zip line (if you select the combo)
- Bungy jump (if you select the option)
- Ground transportation from your hotel near LakeSide Pokhara
- Insurance provided by the operator of the specific activity
- Government taxes and VAT
What’s not included:
- Photos and videos for zipline and bungy
- Extra pickup/drop if you’re far from the Lakeside area
- Personal expenses
So the deal is strongest if you want at least paragliding plus one more activity. If you only want the bungy or only want zipline, it might feel more expensive relative to what you personally care about, since media and logistics are tuned toward the combined schedule.
One more value angle: a review praised how the company planned things well, including fast responses on WhatsApp. That kind of organization matters in Pokhara, where weather and timing can affect outdoor plans.
What to Bring, What to Wear, and Safety Notes You Should Actually Care About
This experience is pretty practical about gear. You’ll want:
- Comfortable shoes
- Comfortable clothes
Wear something you don’t mind getting a little wind-tossed or having a little motion. Avoid anything restrictive. If you’re sensitive to cold, bring a light layer because winds near viewpoints can feel cooler than the street.
The big safety/process note is weather. The flight may cancel due to bad weather after reaching the takeoff point. That’s the one moment you can’t fully control. If you’re traveling with strict timing, build buffer.
On suitability, the provided info is clear that the experience is not suitable for:
- Children under 11 years
- Children under 14 years
- Visually impaired people
- Babies under 1 year
- People over 70 years
If you fall into any of these categories, skip it rather than hoping it works out.
Who This Combo Suits Best (And Who Might Prefer Something Else)

I’d point this combo toward you if:
- You’re in Pokhara for a short time and want one scheduled day with multiple thrills
- You like your adrenaline paired with real scenery (not just a ride in a generic setting)
- You want paragliding plus either zipline or bungy for a full “sky to ground” arc
I’d rethink it if:
- You only want one activity and don’t care about the rest
- You hate plan changes and can’t handle the possibility of a weather-related flight cancellation at the takeoff point
- You’re not comfortable with height-based thrill activities like bungy
If you’re specifically after the kind of memorable views people talk about, paragliding is your anchor. The mountain focus and included media make it a strong “worth it” even when you add other activities.
Should You Book This Pokhara Combo?
If you want your Pokhara trip to have a clear, gear-based highlight, I think this is a solid booking. The combination works because each part gives a different perspective: airborne calm with your pilot, fast movement on the zip line, and the full nerve test of a 101-meter bungy jump.
Book it if:
- You’re comfortable with height and motion-based activities
- You’re fine with the included media being paragliding-only
- You can handle the possibility of bad weather affecting the paragliding at the takeoff point
Skip or consider alternatives if:
- Your schedule is too tight for weather uncertainty
- Bungy is a hard no for you, and you’d rather do paragliding alone
- You’re far from Lakeside and don’t want extra transport costs
