POKHARA, NOVEMBER 25
Continuing its tradition of extreme and unique adventures, Pokhara Skydive 2023, organized by Everest Skydive Pvt. Ltd has safely and successfully concluded on Friday.
According to Anuj Pandey, Managing Director Pokhara Skydive, this year's Pokhara Skydive consisted of jumps from a B3/B2 AS 350 helicopter of Fishtail Air from an altitude of 12500-13000 feet, expertly maneuvered by Captain Francois Favart, Rabin Prajapati and Sujal Shrestha. "The serene valleys and majestic Himalayas of Pokhara are indeed a feast for the senses and form an amazing backdrop for the jumps. With such breathtaking views and daredevils converging in Pokhara for an adventure of a lifetime, the Pokhara Skydive did not disappoint. The excitement in the jumpers faces said it all- it was beyond what they had imagined!"
The seven days event had solo and tandem jumpers from all over the world. It was backed by the experienced International crew members- Paul Henry Alexandre De Baere, Wendy Smith, Nadezhda Solovyeva, Omar Alhegelan, Leandro Gioia, Alberto Avalis, Joao Paulo Netto, Christian Stoevring, Peter Savaloe, Jean Philippe and Christopher Whitley, Dylan Pruett and Tyler Steele, Pandey added.
"In summary the program for this year had a total of 159 successful jumps by sky diving enthusiasts. This year's skydive also had the celebrity duo from India- Telugu actress Tejaswi Madivada and Telegu actor Navdeep, who were both ecstatic after their jumps."
This event has become a highlight and a much awaited event in Pokhara, which typically concludes the Autumn season. The list of local interest has been encouraging and in fact this year's skydive was extended by a few days to accommodate the additional jumpers, Pandey added.
The logistics for Pokhara skydive were managed by the ground crew of Bharat Puri and Manoj Thapa and ground photography and videos were captured by Durlav Roy Chowdhury and Sujan Bhadel- all from Pokhara Skydive.
