What is the Kushma-Gyadi bridge and the Kushma bungee?

By Base Camp Tours, licensed Nepal travel agency (Tourism License 3121/080) · Updated · 1 min read

The short answer

The Kushma-Gyadi suspension bridge links the towns of Kushma and Gyadi across the Kali Gandaki and is among the longest suspension bridges in Nepal. A bungee jump has been offered from it and promoted as one of the highest in the world. Operators and prices change, so confirm current availability before you go.

You can enjoy the bridge without jumping: walk across, watch jumpers and look down at the river. Kushma is about an hour from Pokhara by road, so it fits a half-day trip.
