The approval marks a major milestone for Nepal\u2019s growing adventure tourism sector, allowing commercial skydiving to be offered year-round and adding another world-class experience to the country\u2019s portfolio of outdoor attractions. Long known for trekking, mountaineering, rafting, and paragliding, Nepal is now positioning skydiving as one of its newest adventure tourism products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously operating under special permission, Simrik Air can now provide regular skydiving experiences for both Nepali and international visitors seeking the thrill of freefall against the breathtaking backdrop of the Himalayas, Annapurna range, and Pokhara Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
