Bungee Jumping in Rishikesh

For the ultimate adrenaline rush, nothing beats Bungee Jumping at Mohanchatti, Rishikesh. Operated by 'Jumpin Heights', this is India's highest bungee jump platform at a staggering height of 83 meters (approx. 272 feet). Set amidst the stunning landscape of the Shivalik hills, it meets international safety standards with experts from New Zealand managing the operations.

The experience begins with a walk to the cantilever platform that extends over a rocky cliff. The view down to the tributary of the River Hall is dizzying. As you are strapped up, your heart pounds in your chest. The jump masters are professional and reassuring, checking every harness multiple times.

Then comes the countdown—3, 2, 1, BUNGEE! The leap of faith. The free fall lasts only a few seconds but feels like an eternity. The wind rushes past you as you plummet towards the ground, only to be snapped back by the cord. The rebound gives you a feeling of weightlessness.

It is a test of courage. Overcoming the primal fear of falling is a massive psychological breakthrough. After the jump, you are lowered down to the drop zone where you can recover your breath and trek back up (or take a bus).

You receive a certificate of courage and can buy a high-definition video of your jump to prove your feat. It is a bucket-list item for thrill-seekers visiting Uttarakhand.

The location also offers a Giant Swing and Flying Fox, making it an adventure hub. The entire vibe is high-energy.

Jumping off a cliff in the Himalayas is a story you will tell for the rest of your life. It is raw, intense, and absolutely unforgettable.
