Kusma Bungee Jumping
Kushma
The world’s second tallest bungee and the world’s tallest swing built in the Kaligandaki gorge connecting Parbat Kushma and Baglung Balewa will come into operation from this 15th of Kartik. Bridge Construction was started in 2073 BS. Earlier, the development of the resort along side the bridge was completed at the top of 2076 BS but it couldn’t inherit operation thanks to lockdown, said Raju Karki, chairman of the company.
The world’s tallest swing and the second tallest bungee Kushma
A jumping platform for bungee and swing has been constructed just above the Kaligandaki river within the middle of the 525 meter long bridge . Its bridge from the river is 228 meters or 748 feet.
At present, the world’s tallest bungee is 764 feet high in Macau and therefore the second tallest is 720 feet above the dam in Switzerland. Following the Cliff project, it will overtake Switzerland as the world’s second-tallest bungee, while the swing here will be the world’s tallest, Karki said. Both bungee and swing are priced at Rs 7,000. From Pokhara, Kushma has 8,450 bungee or swing with two-way vehicle facility. 12,000 for tandem (pair) swing has been fixed.
Slingshot style ping Kushma
The height of the bridge built for the bungee is 228 meters while the height of the bridge above it is 248 meters from the river.
The ping, which is 12 meters high from the bottom , is different from the ping made thus far in Nepal. It is built in the style of a slingshot. Normally, the ping has to be shaken by others, but when the person sitting in the ping sits on it, the machine pulls it from behind and leaves the hut, and the ping is crushed. Kushma
Karki claims that the high quality rope used in adventure sports including rock climbing has been used and designed by skilled technicians. Karki said that it costs Rs 250 per person to play ping pong.
