Pro Tips
- 1.Book in advance through your hotel or the resort directly, as walk-in availability can be limited during peak afternoon hours.
- 2.Bring socks for all jumpers (required for hygiene) or purchase them on-site. Loose change in Nepali rupees is helpful for locker rentals.
- 3.Visit during weekday mornings (10am-12pm) to avoid local school groups and weekend crowds.
- 4.The resort has excellent facilities, so consider combining your trampoline session with lunch at the resort restaurant for a full day out.
- 5.Keep kids well-hydrated at Kathmandu's altitude (4,600 feet), especially during active play. Water bottles are available for purchase on-site.
Best Time to Visit
Weekday mornings between 10am and noon offer the least crowded experience. Avoid weekends and Nepali public holidays when local families pack the facility. The dry season (October-May) is ideal for visiting Kathmandu overall, making indoor activities less essential but still enjoyable.
What to Know
Sessions typically require advance booking and last 60-90 minutes. The venue is part of Gokarna Forest Resort, located about 30-40 minutes from central Kathmandu (budget for taxi costs of 500-800 NPR each way). Food is available at resort restaurants, though outside snacks may not be permitted in the trampoline area.
Seasonal Notes
Open year-round as an indoor facility. Particularly valuable during monsoon season (June-September) when outdoor activities are limited, and during winter pollution peaks in Kathmandu when indoor play is healthier for children.
Nearby Eats
The Gokarna Forest Resort has its own restaurant serving international and Nepali cuisine with kid-friendly options. For additional choices, head back toward Boudhanath area (15 minutes away) where you'll find Pizza Nook and OR2K, both popular with traveling families for familiar Western-style food.
