Nepal’s Sky Takes a New Leap: Simrik Air Gets Green Light for Full-Time Skydiving in Pokhara

Simrik Air, through its subsidiary In Sky Skydiving, has received full-time approval from the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) to operate commercial skydiving services in Pokhara. The company’s professional team includes six experienced jumpers with international licenses, bringing global safety standards to Nepal’s growing adventure tourism industry.

What: Regular Skydiving Services Above Pokhara

Previously operating only through special permissions, In Sky Skydiving can now conduct regular skydiving operations. The service offers adventure seekers the opportunity to experience freefall from the skies while witnessing views of the Annapurna and Machhapuchhre ranges, Pokhara’s lakes, and surrounding valleys.

When: Moving From Limited Events to Full-Time Operations

The approval marks a transition from occasional skydiving programs to a structured and regular adventure tourism service in Nepal. Simrik Air had previously introduced skydiving programs in Pokhara with limited operations and packages targeting both domestic and international visitors.

Where: Pokhara Becomes Nepal’s Skydiving Hub

The skydiving service will operate in Pokhara, a city already recognized as Nepal’s adventure tourism capital. With its Himalayan backdrop, scenic landscapes, and growing tourism infrastructure, Pokhara is being promoted as a destination not only for trekking and paragliding but also for high-altitude aerial adventures.

Why: Expanding Nepal’s Adventure Tourism Market

Simrik Air believes regular skydiving operations can create a new tourism product for Nepal while encouraging young people to build careers in adventure sports. The company aims to attract international thrill-seekers and strengthen Nepal’s image as a destination for unique Himalayan experiences.

Safety and Experience Behind the Service

The skydiving team includes highly experienced professionals, including a safety instructor and commander with thousands of jumps completed. Simrik Air has highlighted safety measures, professional instructors, and helicopter-supported operations as key elements of the experience.

A New Chapter for Nepal’s Tourism Future

From trekking trails to mountain expeditions, Nepal has long been known for adventure tourism. With the approval of full-time skydiving services, the country is now adding another extreme experience that could attract a new generation of travelers seeking unforgettable Himalayan adventures.
