Frequently asked questions

None at all. You are harnessed to an instructor who has done this thousands of times, and they handle the exit, the freefall, the canopy and the landing. Your only job is to arch and enjoy it. The briefing takes about twenty minutes and covers everything you need.

For the autumn season, four to six weeks is sensible because it books out first. Spring is quieter and two weeks is usually fine. We only fly twelve jumps a day, so the constraint is seats rather than notice.

Most people can, and a lot of our jumpers say the same thing. Fear of heights is usually tied to being connected to the ground, on a ladder or a balcony. At twelve thousand feet there is no reference point and it feels completely different.

No. We fly two seasons, roughly April to May and mid October to the end of November. Outside those windows the monsoon or winter haze closes the dropzone. The season calendar shows exactly which dates are open.

Ninety five kilograms fully clothed. This is a certification limit on the tandem rigs, not a judgement about anyone, and it is not something we can stretch on the day. If you are close to it, message us before you book and we will talk it through honestly.

Eighteen, and we will check your passport or citizenship card at the dropzone. There is no upper limit as long as you are fit enough to lift your legs for landing and get in and out of a small aircraft.

Yes, and this one is not negotiable. You need a policy that explicitly covers skydiving, because most standard travel insurance excludes it. Bring the policy document or have it on your phone. Without it we cannot let you board.

Not at all. We have goggles that fit over glasses. Contact lenses are fine too, and the goggles keep the wind out.

Not while pregnant. For an injury or a recent operation, message us and describe it, and we will tell you honestly whether it is sensible. If there is any doubt we would rather you jumped next season than took a risk.

Yes, anywhere inside the Pokhara valley, both ways. It is included in every package. Platinum gets a private vehicle rather than the shared van. If you are staying outside the valley you meet us at the dropzone instead.

Budget around three hours from pickup to being dropped back at your hotel. The jump itself is about seven minutes from the door to the ground. Most of the time is briefing, gearing up and waiting for your load.

Trainers with laces, comfortable trousers, and a light layer because it is much colder at altitude. Leave loose jewellery, watches and anything in your pockets at the hotel. We give you everything else.

Yes, and we encourage it. There is space at the landing zone and it is a good spot to watch from. Tell us in the special requests box so we can keep seats in the van.

The chief instructor makes the call by 05:00 on jump day and we message you on WhatsApp straight away. If we cannot fly, you get two free reschedules to any other open date in the season. If we cannot fly you at all before the season closes, you get a full refund of everything you have paid.

Twice for free when the weather is the reason. After that there is a small fee, because a held seat is a seat nobody else could book. If you want to move the date yourself rather than because of weather, tell us at least seventy two hours ahead and we will move it once at no cost.

More than seven days before your date, the deposit is refunded in full. Inside seven days the deposit is kept, because the seat is very hard to resell at that notice. If we cancel for any reason, you always get everything back.

It is entirely about how well the jump gets filmed. Deluxe gives you the instructor handcam. VIP adds a cameraman who jumps beside you, so you are in the shot rather than behind the camera. Platinum adds a second cameraman and aerial angles, plus the first slot of the day when the air is calmest.

The handcam files are handed over on a card before you leave the dropzone. Edited reels from the VIP and Platinum packages take two to three days and arrive as a download link.

Of course, it is yours. We only ask that you tag us so other people can find us. If we want to repost something of yours we will always ask first.

Nothing is charged when you submit the form. We confirm your slot on WhatsApp first, then send you a link or bank details for a twenty percent deposit. The balance is paid on jump day, by card, bank transfer or cash.

Nepali citizens pay in rupees at a local rate, and foreign nationals pay in dollars. This is standard practice across adventure tourism in Nepal. We check a citizenship card or passport at the dropzone on jump day.

Yes, from five people upward. Message us with your numbers and dates and we will quote you properly rather than making you guess from the website.
