It is even more remarkable and memorable with the beautiful mountain background and open valleys.
Bungee Jumping is a very extreme kind of adventure sport in which one jumps using a high platform with an elastic rope attached to it. The cord extends and contracts as you fall freely and this gives you a thrilling feeling of flying and bouncing in the air.

Imagine that you are on a high platform and you see the beautiful green valley beneath. It is a chilly breeze, your heart is going wild and the countdown has started 3, 2, 1. Jump!
You have the rush as you never had before when you take the leap. The free fall would provide you with a rush of adrenaline and then the elastic cord would provide a smooth lift back up. In a few seconds, that fear is replaced with excitement and you know that you have just done something you will never forget.
Jumping, preparation, briefing, and recovery itself last approximately 20-30 minutes but the few seconds you are in free fall will remain with you forever.
