Zip Flying At Pokhara.
Mr.Ramesh Poudel, Executive Director of Bon Travel & Tours Pvt. Ltd. with group of 4 other people visited Pokhara lately on 5th February 2013 for exploring the beauty & glimpses of Pokhara & in search of Adventure of Zip Flying.
At first they moved to Pokhara & stayed on a luxurious Hotel.After few hours they headed up to Sarangkot & did some some paperworks.On the way they were told that the vertical height fall is 600 mts where as the distance travelled on the line will be 1800 mts. Depending on the weight of the flyer the speed could reach upto 140kms per hour and descend period of about 2 minutes.Nearing the start point their heart started pounding more faster.
The sight of end point of the Zip line was not visible from the height of the launching point. Now they were queued to launch from the point in weight ascending order. After few security talks and the guidance from the launch co-ordinator one of the crew member sat in the canopy and he was prepared to launch tieing up to canopy, harness as a demo launch to them. With the countdown of 5 the gate opened launching him and there was a thrilled shout from them.The tour was only of 2 days but they enjoyed every seconds that they spent on Pokhara.
