Wednesday(16-11-2011):- Finally did the ultimate "Adrenaline Junkie Jump" by "Bungy-Jumping at the "Last Resort" in Nepal .The "Last Resort" is located about 100 Kms from Kathmandu, approx a three hour journey by a long and winding road amidst hills and the Bhote Khosi river..Bhote Kosi river bungy jumping has been described as the 'ultimate experience' in Bungy jumping ranked amongst the 10 best in the World in 2012.The valley is narrow with steep hillsides towering over 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) from the river. The Last Resort is 160 metres (520 ft) above a gorge with the river raging below. It is 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) from the Nepal-Tibet border.Bungee jumping at the Last Resort is one of the longest in the world. It is higher than the highest bungee in the New Zealand.[After leaping from the bridge platform, the bungee jumper has a free fall towards the river before the swing lines take up the tension and he enters a large, semicircular arc of about 240 metres (790 ft).When it opened in 1999, the Last Resort was amongst the highest suspension footbridges in the world.Swiss designed, especially for bungee jumping with a 4x safety factor, the bridge will hold 4.5 tonnes. Over 6,000 metres (20,000 ft) of steel wire was used to build the longest suspension bridge in Nepal. "Bhote Koshi" means "River from Tibet" and the "Last Resort" is a must visit on any tourist itinerary even if not a crazy "BUNGY JUMPER"?This video was produced by me through the "Last Resort" movie cameraman, dangerous and unforgettable memories for posterity.
