Sky Diving in EverestThis adventure surpasses any experience in skydiving so far. Since 1991 the skydiving and BASE jumping communities have landed onto both the North and South Poles,
and BASE jumped Angel Falls, Venezuela – fabulous and awe inspiring adventures in their own right, and as such they were the historic building blocks for this new and
exciting challenge. 

 

Sky Diving

 

The Mount Everest (29,035ft) Skydive pushes the boundaries harder and higher, for this is a challenge taking skydiving into two harsh and extreme environments – high altitude at 29,500ft plus extreme cold. 

The jump dates in Nepal avoid the 200mph jet stream that roars across Everest’s summit, and the Drop Zone (DZ) is the highest in the world at 12,350ft. 

Combine the visual impact of looking onto the summit of Mt. Everest and some of the other highest mountains in the world and freefalling past them, this adventure is a feast for those who seek to stimulate all their senses to the point of near overload. 

Everest Skydive draws upon the knowledge and skills of an unusual group of skydivers, some of who are also Everest mountaineers. By drawing on detailed knowledge of the geographical area of Mt. Everest, the surrounding Sherpa lands, and skills learnt in both disciplines the adventure has been brought to fruition after two years of meticulous planning and preparation.

The first Everest Skydive season is to be filmed by Leo Dickinson for distribution
worldwide and will include the worlds highest ever tandem charity jump to raise
funds for Global Angels (globalangels.org).

The dates for Everest Skydive have been chosen to fit the best-known high altitude weather patterns in the Everest region. These
coincide with the summit “pushes” made by mountaineers to give the best chance of stable, calm conditions at high altitude.

These weather windows are well documented and are predictable to a great degree. Local
weather patterns can affect flying at certain times, and flexibility has been built into the
parachuting programme to cope with this. However this limits the number of participants and early manifest / booking is advised.
