There's a particular moment at the edge of a bungee platform that most people describe the same way: the world goes quiet, your brain produces every rational argument for stepping back, and then you jump anyway. At 109 metres above the Ganga valley — India's highest bungee jump — that moment lasts a fraction of a second longer than at smaller heights. The fall takes approximately 3.5 seconds. The deceleration is smooth. The fountain landing at the bottom — where a cable-controlled descent dips you gently into water — is genuinely elegant.
Rishikesh has three bungee jump sites in 2026, ranging from the introductory 50m jump to the iconic 109m site. This guide covers all three — prices, eligibility, safety standards, what happens on jump day, and the honest answer to the most common question: is bungee jumping in Rishikesh actually safe?
The Three Bungee Jump Sites in Rishikesh
Jumpin Heights — Shivpuri (83m)
India's most established bungee operator — the benchmark for safety and experience quality
Jumpin Heights at Shivpuri is the most-visited bungee site in India and the one most travellers mean when they say "the Rishikesh bungee jump." The 83m cantilever platform is certified by New Zealand-trained instructors and uses New Zealand-imported equipment — the gold standard for bungee safety globally. The jump itself is a classic forward-facing freefall into the Ganga valley below, with a natural vegetation backdrop that makes the aerial view genuinely spectacular.
The facility runs a strict operation: maximum 2 jumps per time slot, mandatory weight check, equipment inspection visible to jumpers, and a video + photo package captured from multiple angles. The onsite cafe and viewing area allow companions to watch comfortably. Booking in advance is essential — this site fills up days ahead on weekends.
Bungee at Mohan Chatti — 109m (Fountain Landing)
The iconic jump that dips you into water — India's highest and most photographed bungee experience
The 109m site at Mohan Chatti is India's highest bungee jump and the one with the feature that makes it genuinely unique: a fountain landing, where a controlled cable system dips the jumper's head into a pool of water at the base of the fall before bouncing back up. The combination of the height, the valley setting, and the water contact makes this the most photographed and most talked-about bungee experience in India.
The jump is operated by trained professionals using Australian-standard equipment. The fall from 109m takes approximately 3.5 seconds — noticeably longer than the 83m fall, and the sensation of freefall is correspondingly more intense. The fountain landing adds a theatrical finale that the 83m jump doesn't have. Price is higher than the Shivpuri site at ₹3,500, but the experience differential is significant for those who want the ultimate version.
50m Introductory Site — Shivpuri
Lower height, same safety standards — ideal for those wanting a first bungee without committing to 83m+
Several operators in Shivpuri offer 50m bungee jumps as an entry-level option — the same safety equipment and trained staff as the 83m site, but at a lower height that is less psychologically overwhelming for absolute first-timers. Recommended for travellers who are genuinely uncertain about committing to the full 83m experience. However, most people who jump the 50m site immediately wish they had chosen the 83m — the 50m fall is over very quickly.

Is Bungee Jumping in Rishikesh Safe? — The Honest Answer
Yes — at licensed operators with New Zealand or Australian-certified equipment and trained jump masters. Here is what "safe" specifically means at reputable sites.
What Happens on Jump Day — Step by Step
"Bungee jumping in Rishikesh has evolved into one of India's most professionally operated adventure activities. The equipment standards at the top operators are genuinely world-class — equivalent to what you'd find in New Zealand or Switzerland."— India Adventure Operators Association, Safety Report 2025
✓ Bungee Jumping Tips — Rishikesh 2026
- Book your jump slot 2–3 days ahead for peak season (Oct–Nov, Mar–May) — weekend slots at the 83m site fill by Thursday
- Eat light and at least 2 hours before the jump — operators enforce this and will reschedule you if you haven't
- Wear fitted clothes that won't ride up during the fall — avoid loose tops and flowing skirts. Tie back long hair
- Remove all jewellery, glasses, and loose items before approaching the platform — they will not survive the fall attached to you
- The video package is worth buying — you will not remember the jump clearly enough without footage, and watching it back is genuinely shocking
- Combine the bungee with the zipline and Giant Swing on the same day — the three aerial activities together cost ₹5,000–₹6,000 and cover the full Shivpuri aerial experience
- If you're camping at Shivpuri, book the bungee through your camp operator — combined packages are typically 15–20% cheaper than standalone bookings
Step Off the Platform. The River Is Waiting Below.
Bungee jumping in Rishikesh at a licensed operator is one of India's safest and most professionally managed adventure experiences. The 83m jump at Shivpuri is the most popular choice for good reason — the height, the setting, and the quality of the operation are benchmarks for the country. The 109m fountain landing is the one to choose if you want the experience you'll describe for years. Either way: step off the platform.
