Health Considerations:
Fear of Heights
If you have a fear of heights (acrophobia), skydiving can initially be overwhelming. The panoramic views of the Annapurna Range and Pokhara Valley are stunning, but the thought of freefalling may induce anxiety. If you're unsure, consider trying smaller activities first or consult with your instructor- they’re experienced and will help you feel safe and secure during the jump.
Physical Fitness
Skydiving requires a moderate level of physical fitness. If you have heart conditions, high blood pressure, or any other medical concerns, it’s important to consult with your doctor before booking your jump. A healthy body with mobile joints and a clear mind will make it easier to enjoy the thrill of freefall. The altitude in Pokhara can put extra pressure on your body, so be mindful of any pre-existing conditions.

Other Important Considerations:
Travel Insurance (Mandatory)
Make sure your travel insurance covers adventure sports, including skydiving. While the operator provides basic coverage, it’s a good idea to have personal insurance to protect yourself from any unforeseen events during your trip. This ensures you can enjoy your adventure stress-free.

Camera & Photography
Skydiving in Pokhara provides the perfect opportunity for incredible photos. Most operators offer GoPro rentals to capture your jump. If you’re bringing your own camera, be mindful of limited space in the plane, and avoid obstructing others’ filming. Always follow your instructor’s guidance regarding camera usage to ensure safety.
Weather Delays
The weather in the Himalayas can change quickly. If conditions are cloudy, windy, or unsuitable for jumping, your skydiving session may be delayed or rescheduled for a better time. Be flexible with your plans and keep an eye on the weather forecast. Your safety is the top priority.
