Video: Nepal's Extreme Zip Line
When High Ground Adventures in Nepal decided they wanted to build a zip line, they knew they wanted it to be long, tall and fast. Their Zipflyer meets that description and then some. Riders reach speeds in excess of 85 miles per hour while dangling high above the desert floor. The two-minute ride covers nearly 6000 feet while dropping almost 2000 feet in the process.
For those of us who won't be making the journey to the town of Pokhara any time soon, which is where the Zipflyer is located, we'll just have to settle for the video below. It looks like a fun ride, although that first step is kind of scary.

Well, that was disappointing! Why not show us the whole ride from rider's point of view instead of half the video being some guy sticking his tongue out and most of the rest being montage of photos. None of it would make me want to go.

I agree.
