Bungee Jumping in Uttarakhand

India's highest fixed-platform bungee jump operates near Rishikesh, at a facility built specifically for the activity rather than a natural cliff — making it one of the more purpose-built adventure experiences in the state.

The Jump Itself

The platform sits roughly 83 metres above a gorge, using a fixed-cord (not a bridge or crane) design certified by the same New Zealand company behind several of the world's best-known bungee sites. First-timers and experienced jumpers use the same setup.

Who Can Jump

Most operators set a minimum age (typically 12+) and a weight range (roughly 40-110 kg), and require a basic health declaration — the activity isn't suitable for those with heart conditions, recent injuries, or during pregnancy. Staff run a full safety briefing before every jump.

What the Experience Includes

A single jump typically includes harness fitting, a safety briefing, the jump itself, and a certificate afterward — the whole process usually takes under an hour including waiting time. Many visitors combine it with the facility's other activities, like the giant swing or flying fox, in a single visit.

Best Time to Visit

The facility generally operates year-round outside heavy monsoon conditions, though October to June offers the most reliably clear weather for visibility over the gorge. Advance booking is recommended on weekends and during peak tourist season.
