Rishikesh Bungee Jumping in Uttarakhand

Rishikesh Bungee Jumping

Extreme ⏱ Half Day ★ 4.9 (3,120) 📍 Rishikesh, Uttarakhand

About

Rishikesh isn't just the rafting capital — it's also home to India's highest fixed-platform bungee jump, an 83 m leap from a cantilevered platform over a forested Himalayan river gorge at Mohan Chatti in Uttarakhand. It's run by the only Ministry of Tourism–certified bungee operator in the country, and the views over the valley on the walk to the edge are half the experience.

What makes it special:

  • India's highest fixed-platform bungee at 83 m — a full 1.5 seconds of freefall before the cord catches
  • Operated to Australian and New Zealand safety standards, with 150,000+ jumps and a near-spotless record
  • A combo site — pair it with the giant swing and the 1 km flying fox the same morning

The walk to the edge is genuinely harder than the jump itself, and almost everyone steps off grinning.

Getting There

The jump site is at Mohan Chatti, a roughly 45-minute drive from Rishikesh — operators run a pickup from their Tapovan office. The nearest airport is Jolly Grant (Dehradun), about 35 km away, and Haridwar is the nearest major railhead (~45 km), with Rishikesh's own station on the line; Delhi is around 250 km by road.

Reporting is usually at 9 am and the site has a weekly off (Tuesday), so book your slot ahead. Wear closed sports or trekking shoes — there's a short hike back up after the jump. The bungee runs year-round in fair weather; sessions can pause on heavy monsoon days for safety.

FAQs

How safe is an 83m bungee jump? +
Statistically very safe — the operator (Jumpin Heights, the only certified provider at the Mohan Chatti site) has run 100,000+ jumps with a near-zero serious-injury rate. Equipment is replaced on a rolling schedule, harnesses are double-checked, and you get briefed twice before stepping onto the platform.
What's the weight and age limit? +
Weight 45–110 kg. Age 12–55. Below 18 needs guardian consent. Above 55 needs a doctor's clearance. People outside the weight range can't jump — the bungee cord is calibrated for that band.
Are there medical restrictions? +
Yes. No jumping if you have heart conditions, high blood pressure, recent surgeries, pregnancy, neck/back issues, or epilepsy. Operators will refuse you on these — and they're right to.
What does the jump actually feel like? +
The first 1.5 seconds is pure freefall — your stomach goes weightless. Then the cord catches you, you bounce 2–3 times in big arcs, and finally hang upside down. Total experience is around 40–60 seconds. The walk to the edge is harder than the jump itself.
Can I combine the bungee with other activities here? +
Yes — the same site offers a giant swing and the 1km flying fox (zipline). Combo passes are available at around 20% off versus individual tickets. Most people add the flying fox the same morning.
