This city lies in the western part of Nepal just about 57 km from one of a famous cities of Nepal, Pokhara. Kushma falls under Western Development Region and Dhaulagiri Zone of Nepal. Kusma formerly belonged to Shiwalaya Village Development Committee (VDC) before being recognised as a municipality. Kusma Bazaar is the main attraction of Kusma which seats in the inclined narrow strip on the top of two river's banks, Kaligandaki and Modi. It begins from the base of Durlung hill from where it stretches to Chhamahrke toward Baglung in the North West and to Chuwa VDC towards Pokhara in the eastern-north. Kusma bazaar's long narrow strip ends to the south where two rivers Kaligandaki from northwestern side and Modi from north-eastern side meet each other. Kushma is home to the longest suspension bridge in Nepal. It is 117m high and 334 m long. The bridge joins Kushma to another village Gyadichour on the other side of a deep gorge. Gyadichour is a small village, which is also a birthplace of many scientists, doctors,artists, engineers, administrators, politicians and highly creative people. Many people come to Kushma just to walk over the bridge.
