On a specially built platform 160m above the spectacular Bhote Kosi River you are secured into a full body harness and attached to two independent ropes which each have a breaking strain of 2.8 tons. Gravity seems like a seductive and cruel mistress as you jump, then pure freefall 100m into the dramatic gorge before the swing lines take up the tension and pendulum you in a massive arc of 240m at 150 km/h.

  • The ropes had a breaking strain of 2.8 tons... so they said. I wouldn't take their word for it.

  • yea thats looks funn! A saw the guy held on for dear life to that roap.

  • OHYESS im going there in march 2012 :DD

  • I'd trust the rope, because with a pendulum swing like that, there's not tension pull and the rope can hold 10 of me in actual free fall; my only disappointment is if the rope were more taught then i'd get more "swing" instead of fall

  • @kmk4life86 I agree that rope looks dodgy as

  • @ADugaldF pull the rope back up.

  • How did he get off?

  • ive done alot alot of crazy shit in my life but im good on that note, rope hell no...
