More About Zipline In Pokhara

The journey begins from Lakeside. After reaching Sarangkot, you’ll reach the Butterfly Pavilion after a short walk. The Zipline is located near the paragliding site in Pokhara.

It’s an architectural marvel in itself with breathtaking views of the Himalayan range. You will then be set into a special harness seat and await your liftoff. Two people launch at once, and it’s a race to the bottom. If you’re still opening your eyes, you will see some majestic views of Machhapuchhre, the Annapurna range, and the raging Seti River. You complete your ride after you’ve reached the ground terminal at Hemja, where you will be slowly brought to a halt.

Reaching a maximum speed of over 90 miles per hour, it is undoubtedly one of the most extreme zip flyer rides in the world. A journey of this magnitude has never been built before. So, assure you that the zip flyer in Pokhara will indeed be an unmatchable experience.
