The height of the bridge connecting Kushma and Balewa of Baglung is 228 meters and the height of swing is 248 meters above the river. The swing, which is 12 meters high from the ground, is different from the swing made so far in Nepal.

Swing was designed by an Indian engineer Jagmohan Jangra and was constructed based on his technical suggestion. The company, which has built the world's tallest swing and sky cycling, plans to develop the area as an adventure hub adding other activities in the future, said Chairman Raju Karki.
