The geographical diversity ranging from tall mountains and hills to small inclines and plains makes Nepal one of the most suitable places for zip flying. This thrilling sport of going down the slopes in extreme speed is even more improved because of the view of the natural beauty of Nepal along the way. Zip Flying or Zip Lining in Nepal offers the incomparable thrill and a glimpse of the natural beauty of Nepal. As such, there are two famous zip flying spots in Nepal: Pokhara and Dhulikhel.
The zip flying spot in Pokhara starts from Sarangkot and ends on the Hemja plains. The zip line of Sarangkot is known as the longest, steepest, and fastest in the world which is why it attracts many thrill-seekers. The incline of 56 degrees and the length of 1.8 km with a drop of 600 meters provides a thrill every zip flyer seek out. The cherry on the top of the zip flying in Pokhara are the views of the Annapurna mountain ranges and the mesmerizing Pokhara Valley.
