World's tallest and longest 'megatroll' has come into operation at 'The Cliff' located in Kushma.

The megatroll is 225 meters tall and 1,228 meters long. The Cliff is becoming the major destination for adventure tourism. 

One can enjoy the ride in a megatroll from its tower located at The Cliff premises, Balewa, to the tower located below Kushma bazaar. It can accommodate up to three persons at a time. The riders can also enjoy solo rides or with partners, said Chairperson of The Cliff, Raju Karki.

Normally, the speed of a megatroll is 140 kilometers per hour. However, it could be increased.  It takes seven minutes to 12 minutes to cross the distance.

Karki mentioned that Rs 40 million has been invested for the operation of the megatroll. The construction of the megatroll started a year ago and it has commercially come into operation from Thursday. The test of the megatroll was conducted successfully two weeks ago.

"One can enjoy megatroll ride experiencing the view of Kaligandaki River. We are happy to launch another adventurous sport for tourists. We have expected it would further contribute to socio-economic development along with tourism," he shared. 

The fare for a solo ride of megatroll has been fixed at Rs 4,000 while it is 9,500 for three persons in a group.

Different structures including an adventurous swimming pool are also under construction, added Chair Karki. Number of tourists visiting the area has increased remarkably after blacktopping of the Kaligandaki corridor and Mid-Hill highway.
