Bungee Jump Rishikesh

OVERVIEW

Experience India’s first fixed platform bungy jump destination at Mohan Chutti (52km), a pristine location tucked in the Shivaliks further ahead of Rishikesh. This day trip is bundled with a ride giving you a glimpse of the mountains, crisp air and virgin greenery.

You can choose from a convenient time slot between 9:30am, 11:00 am, 1:00 pm and 2:30pm. You can opt to travel to Mohan Chutti on an a/c luxury coach. Upon reaching, you’ll meet the instructor team, understand the gear, safety tips, jumping techniques, and sign up for a memorabilia kit (photographs, DVD, t-shirt printed with pictures of your jump) if required.

Walk on the cantilever platform built over a rocky cliffy overlooking River Hall, a tributary of River Ganga. Take your leap of faith and feel the rush in every pore. The jump height is 83m. At the end of the jump, you’ll be lowered to a drop zone with 2ft of water. Walk to the cafeteria, reminisce the experience, and head back to Rishikesh. If you wish, you could add more thrills to your adventure cart by partaking in Giant Swing and Flying Fox activities.
