About Dropzone Nepal
A small crew running a serious dropzone under the biggest mountains on earth.
The story
Why we started
Nepal has had skydiving events for years, mostly one off expeditions priced for people flying in specifically. What it did not have was a dropzone that runs properly through a season, that a Nepali can afford, and that treats a first timer as well as it treats a licensed jumper.
That is the gap we are filling. Two clear seasons a year, twelve jumps a day, honest pricing in both directions, and a crew that would rather cancel a day than push a marginal wind call.
Replace these three paragraphs with your own words. It is the one section of the site nobody else can copy, and it is usually the thing that decides between you and the next operator.

The part that matters
Safety
Skydiving carries real risk. What a dropzone can control is equipment, training and the decision to fly.
Rated instructors
Every tandem instructor holds a current USPA rating or the equivalent, with hundreds of tandem jumps logged before they ever take a customer.
Maintained gear
Reserves repacked on schedule, an AAD on every rig, and maintenance logs that we are happy to show you if you want to see them.
Conservative calls
If the wind is wrong we do not fly. You will be disappointed for a day rather than hurt for considerably longer. That trade is not close.
