Skydiving in Nepal

You will arrive in Kathmandu in mid-October and connect with our expert Skydive Crew. After spending 2 nights in Kathmandu filled with sightseeing and a welcome dinner with the team, we will fly to Lukla and trek up the Khumbu valley, allowing our bodies to acclimatize to the high altitude of the Everest region. On the trekking, you will get to see the stunning natural beauty of the Himalayas and hear stories of incredible skydiving and mountaineering feats from our team. On the second day of trekking, we reach the legendary Namche bazaar, a Sherpa town with all the modern amenities, perched snugly in a bowl on the side of a mountain. Namche is the cultural and economic capital of the Everest Region and offers visitors everything from stunning mountain views to late-night partying in one of the many bars and cafes. This will be our home for the next six nights.

From Namche, it’s an hour’s hike up to Syangboche Airfield, our dropzone; a wide grassy plateau over Namche Bazaar and the base from where our Jump operations take place. A Puja (a prayer ceremony) is done at the DZ by the local Buddhist Lama to bless the expedition and all the members of the team. We then start to prepare our gear, mark out the drop zone, and call in the chopper. Our Jump Pilot and Director of Skydiving Operations will give an instructions briefing on the ground. When everyone is clear about the plan of action, you gear up with your Tandem Master and enter the chopper as the rotors start to spin.

Following a 15-minute climb, the Jump team will exit the helicopter at 23,000ft with Mt. Everest in the background while the freefall cameraman captures every moment of this incredible experience. After a 40-second freefall, the parachute is deployed, and you safely descend. On day two, your second jump will give you a shorter freefall but more time under the parachute so you can take in the incredible Himalayan views from a vantage that few humans have ever done and capture it on your own handheld camera too. For the adrenaline junkie that just can’t get enough, a third jump with a long freefall is repeated.

After our all jumps are done, we head back down to Namche and celebrate an amazing experience. The next day, we walk back down to Lukla from where we catch our flight back to Kathmandu. The last night before everyone heads home, we will have a team dinner with drinks, have a presentation of skydive achievement certificates, and watch the jump videos together.

This twelve-day skydiving expedition is for anyone with a lust for the most incredible adventure, culture, and adrenaline. The trip combines three days of trekking through the Buddhist homeland of the the Sherpa people on the world-famous Everest Base Camp Trek with the most incredible High Altitude skydives in the world.
