Harnessed to a rated instructor from the moment you leave the aircraft to the moment you land. You do nothing but look.
The jump
You will be strapped to the front of an instructor who has done this more times than they can count. They handle the exit, the freefall, the canopy and the landing. Your job is to arch your back and keep your eyes open.
The aircraft climbs for about twenty five minutes over Phewa Lake. The door opens at thirteen thousand feet. From there it is fifty seconds of freefall at around two hundred kilometres an hour, then six quiet minutes under the parachute with the whole Annapurna range in front of you.
Almost everyone says the same thing afterwards: it is nothing like they expected, and they want to go again.
Your day
Budget about three hours from pickup to being dropped back at your hotel.
Our van collects you from your hotel in Pokhara and drives out to Pame.
Paperwork, the liability waiver, and a weight check against your booking.
Twenty minutes on body position, the exit and the landing. That is genuinely all of it.
Your instructor fits you and walks you through the rig you are about to trust.
Climbing over Phewa Lake with the Annapurnas filling the window.
The door opens. Fifty seconds later the canopy is out and everything goes quiet.
Six minutes under the parachute, a few turns if you want them, then down beside the lake.
Your video is handed over on a card before the van takes you back to your hotel.
Packages
The jump, done properly. Everything you need and nothing you do not.
A second flyer jumps beside you so you are in the shot, not behind the camera.
Two cameramen, the calmest air of the day, and a full gallery you want to print.
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.
Weather and cancellationBudget 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.
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.
Not at all. We have goggles that fit over glasses. Contact lenses are fine too, and the goggles keep the wind out.
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.
