Pokhara: Paragliding, Bungy Jump and Zipline Combo Adventure
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by Relax Getaways Pvt. Ltd · Bookable on GetYourGuide
A sky-to-raw-adrenaline combo is hard to beat. This Pokhara outing strings together paragliding, a zip line run, and (for the right option) a 101-meter bungy jump, with mountain views over Phewa Lake and the Annapurna massif up front.
Two things I’d prioritize if I were choosing this: the chance to glide in the air for about 30 minutes, and the scenery over the Annapurna Range plus Dhaulagiri that you can actually see from the sky. The overall time window is short, so you get a lot of payoff for a half-day.
The main thing to consider is weather. Your flight can cancel if conditions get too rough at the takeoff point, so don’t book this as your only activity on a tight schedule.

Key Points at a Glance

- Big views without a long trek: Sarangkot gets you moving fast toward the action, with an aerial view stretch before your main activity.
- 30-minute paragliding is a sweet spot: Long enough for a real feel of the air, short enough to keep the day efficient.
- Combo option keeps momentum going: After paragliding, you transfer to zip line if you choose the combo.
- Bungy is the real heart-thumper: The jump here is listed at 101 meters.
- Photo limits are real: Paragliding photos/videos are included, but zip line and bungy photos/videos cost extra.
- Communication can be strong: I like the reported fast WhatsApp responses from Pradip in Kathmandu.
Pokhara in One Shot: Paragliding, Zip Line, and a 101m Bungy

Pokhara is built for altitude thrills. You get mountains, lakes, and a city layout that makes this kind of package feel practical instead of exhausting.
This experience is appealing because it’s not just one ride. You’re mixing a calm-but-exhilarating flight (paragliding) with speed over land (zip line), then—if you choose it—an all-out drop (bungy). That “different muscle groups, different fears” combo is a big part of the value. It keeps the day from feeling repetitive, and it gives you multiple ways to walk away saying: yes, I did that.
Also, the setting helps. You’re going to be looking toward the Annapurna massif and the Dhaulagiri ranges, plus Phewa Lake views from above. Even if you’re not obsessed with heights, those views do the heavy lifting.
Sarangkot Start: The 30-Minute Aerial View Setup

Most departures begin around 9:30 am, with pickup from the LakeSide area (pickup is from hotel areas near Lakeside, and pickup isn’t included if you’re staying far from there). Then you head toward Sarangkot, where you get about 30 minutes of aerial-view time.
That short “warm-up” matters more than it sounds. Sarangkot is high enough to give you perspective fast. By the time you get to the activity itself, you already understand what kind of drop-off and horizon line you’re dealing with. If you get nervous about the idea of going up, that initial view helps you recalibrate.
Drawback? If you’re the type who hates waiting around, this part may feel like a breather before the adrenaline. It’s still useful, just don’t expect this to be a quick-and-immediate launch.
Paragliding Flight Basics: What the 30-Minute Ride Feels Like

The paragliding portion is the centerpiece for a reason. You’re not just strapped to something. You’re flying with a pilot, and the flight time is about 30 minutes when that option is selected.
Here’s what makes it special for your day:
- You get a real chunk of time to see the valley and mountain backdrop instead of a quick photo moment.
- You’re looking down toward Phewa Lake and out toward the Annapurna Range and Dhaulagiri, which is why people remember Pokhara skies.
- Photos and videos are included for the paragliding itself, which is a big value perk compared to the other activities.
One practical note from the details: the flight may cancel if weather affects takeoff. The listing is honest about that, and it’s the most important operational risk here. Plan to be flexible that morning, especially if clouds move in.
Guide and pilot names pop up in real-world reports too. One flight was described with the pilot Mr Sudip, and the views were described as great for both city and mountain areas. That lines up with what you’re paying for: a smooth, guided experience where the scenery is the main event.
Zip Line After Paragliding: Speed Through Forested Valley Views

If you choose the combo paragliding and zip line option, you’ll finish your paragliding flight first and then get transferred to zip line afterward.
The experience is straightforward in concept: you zoom across scenic areas, reportedly over lush valleys and dense forests, so it’s not just a one-dimensional thrill. You move quickly, but you still get to look around. That’s why zip line can work even if you’re mildly nervous. It’s intense, but it’s also visual and guided.
The key value detail here: zip line photos and videos are not included. If you’re the type who likes proof of the moment, budget for add-ons. One review called out that the zipline video and photos carried an extra charge, which is exactly what you should plan for if that matters to you.
Timing-wise, zip line is part of why the overall duration stays in the 1.5 to 4 hour range. The day is designed to keep you moving rather than stretching into an all-day production.
Bungy Jump at 101 Meters: Picking the Right Mindset
Bungy is listed as a featured option here, with a 101-meter jump in Pokhara. That number is the big selling point, because it signals scale. A jump that tall is a different category than the smaller “tourist bungy” you might see elsewhere.
What you should know for your own decision-making:
- This is the part that will feel most intense emotionally, even before you jump.
- You’ll want to feel mentally ready because the experience is a leap, not a gradual ride.
- Insurance is provided by the operator of the specific activity, which helps your peace of mind.
The suitability rules are also stricter here. The experience is not suitable for children under 11, children under 14 (the data lists both age cutoffs), people over 70, visually impaired people, and babies under 1. If you’re booking for a parent or a teen, double-check that age category before you commit.
Also, like zip line, photos/videos for bungy are not included. If you want the full package of jump footage, assume you’ll pay extra.
Where You Go, What You See: Drop-Off at Lamachaur, Lakeside, and Pokhara
After your activities, you get dropped at one of three locations: Lamachaur, Lakeside, or Pokhara. That matters because it affects how easily you can continue your day afterward.
If you want the easiest next step—dinner, a lake walk, or just cooling down—getting dropped near Lakeside is ideal. If you end up at Lamachaur or another point, you might spend a bit more time moving around afterward, so I’d plan your rest time accordingly.
Group size can be private or small groups, and that can change the feel. Smaller groups usually mean less waiting and less “time lost to coordination.” If you hate delays, choose the private option when it’s available.
Price and Value: Is $78 a Good Deal for This Combo?
At $78 per person, you’re paying for more than one adrenaline event in a half-day window. The value isn’t only the headline price—it’s what’s included.
What your $78 generally covers:
- Paragliding with a pilot, about 30 minutes (when that option is selected)
- Paragliding photos and videos included
- Zip line included when you pick the combo option
- Bungy jump included when you pick that option
- Ground transportation from your hotel near LakeSide Pokhara
- Insurance provided by the operator of the specific activity
- Government taxes and VAT
What can cost extra:
- Zip line and bungy photos/videos
- If you’re staying far from Lakeside, pickup/dropoff may cost extra
- Personal expenses
So how do you judge value? If you only want one thrill, you might be better off buying a single activity. But if you’re set on seeing Pokhara from the air and also doing the speed-and-jump thrills, the combo format usually makes sense. You get a packed day without paying for separate transfers and separate scheduling blocks.
One more note that affects value: the day’s length depends on which combination you select. The experience is listed as 1.5 to 4 hours, so be honest about your stamina. It’s not a full-day tour, which is great for most people.
What to Bring and Wear for Comfort and Safety
This is an outdoor adventure, so basic comfort matters more than fashion.
Bring:
- Comfortable shoes
- Comfortable clothes
You don’t want stiff footwear that pinches, especially if you’re moving between activity points in the morning. Also, expect a bit of weather variation near viewpoints, since the flight may be influenced by conditions at the takeoff point.
A smart mindset tip: treat this as a controlled adrenaline day. Follow the instructions given by staff and pilots, and you’ll get the best version of the experience: smooth flight, safe harness handling, and a calmer transition between paragliding, zip line, and bungy.
Who Should Book This Combo Adventure
You’ll likely enjoy this if you:
- Want to do multiple adrenaline activities in one morning
- Care about views as much as thrills (the paragliding portion is the biggest visual payoff)
- Prefer a time-efficient half-day plan instead of a longer expedition
You might skip it if:
- You don’t handle height stress well and want a gentler start
- Your schedule is inflexible due to potential weather cancellations at the takeoff point
- You’re planning around photo-video expectations without extras, since zip line and bungy media aren’t included
Also, I’d put it in the “best for most adults and older teens” category, given the listed age restrictions.
Should You Book This One?
Yes, if you want the classic Pokhara combo: glide above the valley, then add speed, then (optionally) jump from a serious height. The $78 price feels like solid value because it bundles the biggest experiences, plus transportation from the LakeSide area and paragliding media.
If you’re booking, I’d do two things: pick the option that matches your risk tolerance (paragliding only versus combo versus bungy), and plan a flexible backup idea in case weather affects the paragliding takeoff. In the real world, that’s the one thing you can’t fully control.
If you’re unsure about timing, the offering includes free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance and a pay-later style option, which is helpful when you’re deciding close to departure.
