Rishikesh bungee jumping

Private experience

AdventureRishikesh

A short drive outside Rishikesh town, a fixed jump platform above a river gorge offers one of India's best-known bungee jumps, marketed as among the highest commercially operated fixed-platform jumps in the country (exact figures vary between sources, so we confirm the specific height with the operator rather than quote one here). Jumps are solo, fitted with a full harness system checked by trained staff, and the whole activity, including transfer, briefing and the jump itself, takes a few hours. No previous experience is needed, though standard operator health and weight restrictions apply.

Itinerary

  1. Pickup

    Step 1

    • We collect you from your Rishikesh hotel and drive you to the jump site.

  2. Registration and weigh-in

    Step 2

    • You register, confirm you meet the weight and health requirements, and complete any paperwork the operator requires.

  3. Harnessing and safety briefing

    Step 3

    • Trained staff fit your harness and the jump cord, and talk you through exactly what will happen on the platform and how to hold your body as you fall.

  4. The jump

    Step 4

    • You step out onto the platform, count down with the staff, and jump; the cord takes you into a free fall before rebounding above the gorge.

  5. Lowering and return

    Step 5

    • You are lowered to the ground by the recovery team, collect your things, and are driven back to your hotel.

Highlights

  • Anyone within the operator's weight limit and general health requirements can jump — there is no physical fitness needed, only a willingness to step off the platform once you are clipped in.
  • Standard operator restrictions apply — pregnancy, heart conditions and certain back or neck issues typically rule this out; final eligibility is confirmed by the operator on the day.
  • A short drive outside Rishikesh town, a fixed platform is rigged above a river gorge for bungee jumping, one of the activities that has built Rishikesh's reputation as an adventure hub alongside its rafting and yoga.
  • Jumpers go one at a time, harnessed rather than jumping in a pair, with the cord and harness fitted and checked by trained staff immediately before the jump.

Full description

A short drive outside Rishikesh town, a fixed platform is rigged above a river gorge for bungee jumping, one of the activities that has built Rishikesh's reputation as an adventure hub alongside its rafting and yoga. It is marketed as one of the highest fixed-platform commercial bungee jumps in India, though exact height figures vary between sources, so we would rather you confirm the specific number with the operator than take a figure from us that might not match what they quote on the day.

Jumpers go one at a time, harnessed rather than jumping in a pair, with the cord and harness fitted and checked by trained staff immediately before the jump.

Includes

  • Harness and jump equipment
  • Staff supervision throughout
  • The safety briefing before you jump

Not included

  • Transfers from outside Rishikesh unless arranged in advance
  • Personal expenses
  • Travel insurance
  • Photos or video of the jump unless booked separately with the operator

Important information

Rishikesh

Know before you go

  • Bring a photo ID; operators typically ask for it at registration.
  • If you take regular medication for a heart or blood pressure condition, mention it when you enquire so we can check eligibility with the operator before you travel out to the site.

Best season and meeting point

The jump runs through the year, weather permitting, though the comfortable travelling months of October to April suit most visitors best. Meeting point is your Rishikesh hotel; the jump site itself is reached by a short drive that we handle as part of the booking.

Cancellation policy

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start

  • Cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund.
  • No payment is taken until you approve the itinerary.

Who it suits

  • Anyone within the operator's weight limit and general health requirements can jump — there is no physical fitness needed, only a willingness to step off the platform once you are clipped in. It suits thrill-seekers who want a short, intense experience rather than a sustained activity.
  • Standard operator restrictions apply — pregnancy, heart conditions and certain back or neck issues typically rule this out; final eligibility is confirmed by the operator on the day.

Honest cautions

  • Wear fitted, comfortable clothing and closed shoes — loose scarves, jewellery or anything that could catch on the harness should be left at the hotel.
  • The jump itself lasts only seconds; most of the time on site is registration, harnessing and the walk to the platform, so build in the better part of a morning or afternoon.

Frequently asked questions

How high is the Rishikesh bungee jump?

It is marketed as one of the highest fixed-platform commercial bungee jumps in India. Because different sources quote slightly different figures, we would rather you get the exact number directly from the operator when you book than repeat a figure here that might not match.

Is it safe?

The jump is run on a fixed, purpose-built platform with a full harness system, checked by trained staff before every jump. Standard operator restrictions apply on health grounds — pregnancy, heart conditions and certain back or neck issues typically rule out the jump — and eligibility is confirmed on the day.

Do I need any previous experience?

No. The activity needs no skill or fitness, only a willingness to step off the platform once you are harnessed. Staff talk you through everything beforehand.

Is there a weight or age limit?

Yes, operators set a weight range and a minimum age, and these are checked at registration on the day. We confirm the current limits with the operator when you enquire, since they can be updated.

Can I combine this with rafting or camping in Rishikesh?

Yes, bungee jumping is commonly booked alongside a rafting run or a riverside camping stay as part of a single Rishikesh adventure day or overnight stop.
