My swing experience from the world highest swing site.
The adventure started when i got a call from my cousin early in the morning telling bro what's the plan for Christmas, i replied nothing he said let's go to kushma and do the swing, i said lets do it then.
Kushma
This is the place where the The Cliff pvt ltd is located which provides various adventure activities like Bungee Jump, Swing, Couple Swing, Ping, Cycling, Sky Chair.Kushma is a small beautiful city which is about 60 km from Pokhara.The bridge form where the bungee and swing is done is about 228 m high from the ground which is the highest for the swing and second highest for bungee in the world.

Pokhara
Pokhara is a beautiful city in Nepal which has beautiful lakes all over the place and we can see wonderful mountains even from the city. Pokhara has many trekking routes and the most famous one is the Annapurna trek.

Day 1
It was Christmas eve and we had bought our tickets from Kathmandu to Pokhara.By the way Kathamndu is the capital city of Nepal, the weather here is perfect you know.We reached Pokhara at around 3 pm it only takes 30 mins from Kathmandu to Pokhara, yeah pretty small country.We booked our hostel at the airport and we stayed at the busy bee resort which is at lakeside area of Pokhara. Lakeside at Pokhara is area near the Phewa Lake in Pokhara the area
is where most of the tourists stay.Since it was Christmas eve we had a few drinks and chilled at our hotel room.

Day 2
As usual we woke up late and had our breakfast, then we started to make plans to go to kushma where we were planning to do the swing.Usually the "The Cliff " provides a bus to its customers from Pokhara to Kushma but at time that option was not available.We had 2 options local bus or cab.Local bus here in nepal is not a good experience for long travels so we decided to book a cab which left Pokhara at 3 pm.We roamed around lakeside for few hours and at 3 pm our cab arrived and we left for Kushma.It took around 1 hr 30 mins to reach to kushma we had booked our stay for night at The Cliff and booked our swing for the next day.

Day 3
This day was adventure day as we had booked our swing for this day.As usual we woke up late and had our breakfast.We were taking about how weirdly calm we both felt because this was the second time we had done something like this, the first time was bungee and after seeing the bridge we both had freaked out but this time we felt very calm.An hour after our breakfast we had our turn for the swing, the time had come and we were not at all nervous.They called and we went to the place from where we would jump.While walking from the resort to the middle of the bridge i started felling a little weird not scared but a little different.We reached and inside there were people who we getting geared up for the jump, a guy next to us was taking with us and we could sense his nervous energy.Then the bungee/swing master called me to get geared up at that time i felt my heart beat rising when i was wearing the gears for the jump.It was my turn to jump the bungee master was explaining to me the process, in my mind i was like focus and listen don't fuck up.The instruction was simple and clear he told me to catch the rope till you go down then leave the rope or you can hold on till you return up and if while falling down if you leave the rope don't try to grab it again as it may sllice your palms since the rope is moving at very high speed.I had understood and i said ok and i proceeded to jump i was not at all sacred and at the count of 3 2 1 jump i had to jump and i jumped at the signal the first surprise to me was the speed at which i was falling and i screamed an involuntary woah , and it was over i felt calm after falling from that height.Then my cousin did his jump and we both very happy and a little disappointed as we didn't got the adrenaline rush like the first time but it was okay. After the jump we decide to go to Sarangkot which was on the way to pokhara, this place is famous for the view of sunrise and sunset.We left kushma and went to Sarangkot.After reaching Sarangot we got a call and we had to leave the next day so we booked our returning ticket for the next day.
Day 4
This was our last day of the adventure, we had already bought the ticket to Kathmandu and after having our breakfast we left for Pokhara airport and flew back to Kathmandu.
