Bungee jumping is leaping from a fixed location such as a crane, platform, bridge, or cliff and breaking the fall with a bungee cords—an elastic-type rope—that is attached to the ankles. Jumps take place from heights of 25 to 200 m (80 to 650 ft). After the jumper begins falling, the bungee cord pays out behind the jumper's feet. When it is fully extended, the cord breaks the jumper's fall, stretching to minimize the jolt of the stop. The United States Bungee Association (USBA) estimates that more than 7 million bungee jumps have been made since the late 1980s, making bungee jumping one of the most popular extreme sports. Bungee jumping is most commonly done from specially designed platforms and under the supervision of a licensed company. It is considered one of the least dangerous activities of the extreme sports. The ultimate thrill of a bungee jumping can now be experienced in Nepal at one of the best sites in the world. Nepal's first bungee jumping site is situated 160 meters over River Bhote Koshi. The site is located close to the Nepal-Tibet border and is a three-hour bus ride from Kathmandu. A package tour including the jump with bus ride to the site and lunch can be arranged from Kathmandu.
