Nepal
Zip Flyer in Nepal
Overview
Your adventure begins when you board your shuttle for the ride to the top the mountain. Your guide will narrate as you pass through the village of Sarangkot and then up the mountainside. Once on top you will take a short walk to the Butterfly Pavilion, an architectural marvel with breath-taking views of the Himalayan range. While you sip coffee and wait for your turn we assure your wait will be exciting. At 5400 feet above sea level you will sit into a special harness seat and await your launch. Two guests launch at once, and it is a race to the bottom! 5,4,3, 2, 1 and you're off, accelerating to 100 mph as you pass above the dense forest below. If your eyes are still open you will see sweeping views of majestic Machhapuchhre, the Annapurna range and the raging Seti River. Your ride concludes with a break-activated landing on the HighGround Triangle in the village of Hyangja.
And guess what, there's more. The HighGround Triangle boasts of a full-fledged restaurant overlooking the gorge and local Tibetan refugee settlement nearby should you wish to get a taste of their culture.
Participants must be between 35 and 125 kgs (75 and 275 pounds) and be comfortable with heights. This ride is not recommended for individuals with back or neck problems, or those who are pregnant.
Videos and pictures of your ride will be available at the end of your ride! However, you would be required to book your helmet cam video when you purchase your ride.

SkyZip Safety Considerations:
Safety-First is our credo, and safety is much more than an afterthought in the development of the SkyZip ride; it is an inherent component of every part, every element, every system, and every procedure that was included in its design, development, manufacturing, installation, manuals, and owner/operator training.
While developing the SkyZip system, we were not content with just meeting the industry standards (Every part is precision engineered to equal or surpass the ANSI-B77 Tramway, ASTM and TUV SUD codes), we have collaborated in the design of the system with a leading engineering firm, and plans for every element, component and design element of the ride has been reviewed and stamped by a professional engineering firm.
Activity Overview: Zip-Flyer Nepal
The officially named Zip-Flyer Nepal is the world's tallest, fastest and the longest zip line in the world located in Sarangkot- one of the most beautiful places in Nepal. It is not just another zip line; it is inclined at 56 degree, 1.8 km in length, 2000ft vertical drop and speeds of over 160kmph making it the most extreme ride in the world.
Imagine, you’re standing on the platform overlooking the majestic Himalayas and a mind-boggling 2000 feet vertical drop. As you look down, the adrenaline begins to build up and your heart begins to beat faster. The countdown begins…5, 4,3,2,1, and you're airborne. Gravity takes care of the ‘go' portion of the ride, a feeling of weightlessness sets in, the wind gushes against your face, as you plunge at speeds of over 160kmph. After a minute of pure adrenaline, and travelling a distance of almost 2km, the ride begins to slow down as you approach the landing. The advanced, magnetic braking system then brings you to a complete stop.
During the ride, you'll get to experience the breath-taking views of the Himalaya range and the raging Seti River.
