Pickup
We collect you from your Rishikesh hotel and drive you to the jump site.
Registration and weigh-in
You register, confirm you meet the weight and health requirements, and complete any paperwork the operator requires.
Harnessing and safety briefing
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.
The jump
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.
Lowering and return
You are lowered to the ground by the recovery team, collect your things, and are driven back to your hotel.
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.
- Wear fitted, comfortable clothing and closed shoes — loose scarves, jewellery or anything that could catch on the harness should be left at the hotel.
- 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.
- 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.
Best season and starting 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.
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.

5/51 week agoThe homestay night was the memory we will keep — cooking with the family, the kids playing cricket in the lane. It was arranged with real thought, and the drive out there was beautiful.

5/51 month agoTook my teenage sons and was braced for boredom. Instead the guide got them involved — spotting carvings, tasting street snacks, haggling for a scarf. Best day of the holiday by a distance.

5/51 month agoTiming was spot on — we hit the fort in the soft morning light and were back at the hotel before the afternoon heat became unbearable. Clearly a team that has done this many, many times.

4/52 months agoVery good overall. The itinerary was tight but never felt rushed, and the driver was superb. The hotel on night two was a step down from the others — clean, but the Wi-Fi barely worked. Would still recommend.
