Zip Flyer in Pokhara
Zip Flyer in Pokhara Overview
The Zip Flyer in Pokhara is one of the most thrilling adventure activities in Nepal and holds the record for the world’s longest zip line. Launched from Sarangkot Hill at an elevation of 1,650m, you will glide along an 1,800m steel cable, reaching speeds of up to 120 km/h. The total vertical drop is 600m, and the free‑fall experience lasts approximately 2 minutes before you land in Hyangja (960m).
As you soar above the valley, you will be rewarded with spectacular panoramic views of the Annapurna range, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Phewa Lake, and the Seti River. The experience is safe, with professional harnesses, helmets, and trained staff. This activity is perfect for adrenaline junkies, adventure travelers, and anyone seeking a unique bird’s‑eye perspective of Pokhara.
