UPDATE - In October of 2008, a very special group of individuals made history when they became the first to Skydive Everest. Jumpers landed safely on the highest jump zone on earth, with memories they'll never forget. The adventure was so incredible, we want to offer it again. But for now, we're off to conquer a new mountain. In June of 2009, we'll be in Alaska to deliver the first-ever high-altitude skydives over Mt McKinley, the highest peak North America. It will be an incredible adventure unlike any other.

To Qualify for Tandem Skydive No previous experience is required, all briefings and preparation is undertaken in Nepal. NB: High & Wild Ltd reserves the right to alter, change or improve any aspect of the itinerary in the best interests of their clients or their client’s safety.

To Qualify as Skydiving Participants: The Everest Skydive is open to FAI “C” and “D” license holders, or those who can demonstrate over 200 logged and witnessed jumps under the regulations of a recognised parachute association of any country.

Insurance: Travel and medical insurance is compulsory, and we recommend including emergency air evacuation as standard. Travelling without insurance can result in extremely high medical or repatriation charges in the event of an accident; check your policy inclusions and exclusions carefully. High & Wild will require proof of insurance before you travel. It is also very useful to keep this information in our files in the unlikely case of an emergency during your trip, where we may be required to provide administrative assistance.

Passport and Visa Information: It is your responsibility to ensure that your passport has a minimum of 6 months validity at the date of your return from travel and that your visa requirements are met. If you would like some advice on where to find up to date information for each country's entry requirements and how to organize your visas, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Immunization: Required vaccinations and health risks can vary greatly from country to country and region to region. It is strongly recommended that you arrange a visit to your GP, or ideally a specialist travel clinic, prior to your trip. Although staff at High & Wild may point you in the right direction for your inoculations, we are unfortunately not qualified to advise you on specific medical requirements. Taking along a copy of your itinerary can be helpful for doctors to identify the areas you may visit.

Kit List: A kit list relevant to each trip can be sent to you upon payment of your deposit at your request, otherwise a copy will be sent with your final documents approximately 4 weeks before date of travel.
