TomNoonan 1 #1 May 19, 2014 Greetings one and all, For the last few years I was trying to figure out a way to share the Everest Skydive experience with my skydiving friends that didn't have the large amount of $$ to be able to jump in the eastern Himalaya, aka, the Everest region. In lieu of that, last year, I invited some friends to trek with me to Everest Base Camp at the conclusion of Everest Skydive for a much much less expensive trip, so that they could at least see Everest Skydive the drop zone and operation, see Mount Everest with their own eyes, and go to Everest Base Camp. Then when we were done, instead of walking all the way out, we "borrowed" our Everest Skydive Eurostar, and flew it to Pame, Pokhara, a lake side village in the western Himalaya and made some helicopter skydives beside the Ann Purna range of the Nepali Himalaya. It wasn't a boogie per say, just a group of skydivers that wanted to have some fun and skydive in a remote, exotic location. 100% success all around, so our event organizers in Nepal have green lighted a return to Pokhara again for more skydives including a new drop zone at 11,500ft MSL in a remote village called Manang. (Wikipedia Manang and you will understand the term "remote"...lol) Anyways, we're at it again, Nov 4th-Nov 20th, if anyone is interested in learning more about it, check out the FB event page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/721172624612009/?notif_t=plan_user_joined And video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbtPi03o_zc Email me at: skydiveearth@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like more info.Namaste, Tom Noonan www.everest-skydive.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FB1609 0 #2 May 19, 2014 I was in Pokara for a couple of months in the 90s, breathtaking. I never did the base camp, only Poon hill, Annapurna trek. To do a few jumps out there would be incredible...perhaps I can make it if I'm in Thailand this summer as I plan to be! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
