Kushma bridges and bungee
In Nepali: कुश्माका पुल र बन्जी · Also known as: Kushma–Gyadi bridge · Cliff bungee · कुश्मा
Kushma, headquarters of Parbat, sits on a terrace above the confluence of the Kali Gandaki and Modi Khola. Across the gorge the Kushma–Gyadi suspension bridge, over 500 m long and more than 100 m above the river, became a tourist attraction in its own right.
A cliff-side bungee jump of over 200 m and a giant swing now operate from the gorge, drawing thrill-seekers from Pokhara, about 1.5 hours away. The district also has Panchase, the Gupteshwor cave and the Jaljala and Modi valleys.
What to see and do
Walk across the long suspension bridges over the gorge, try the canyon swing or bungee jump, and visit the Gupteshwor Gufa cave in Parbat. Nearby, the Panchase trek can be started from Kushma, and the Modi valley leads towards the Annapurna region.
Good to know
Adventure activities are run by licensed operators, many booking through Pokhara. Bridges sway — take it slowly if you dislike heights.
