Complete Rishikesh Bungee Jumping Guide
Jumpin Heights — India's Premier Bungee Venue
Jumpin Heights is India's most established adventure operator, running since 2010 at Mohan Chatti, 15 km from Rishikesh on the Badrinath highway. The 83-metre fixed cantilever platform extends over a forested gorge above the Ganga — the view from the jump platform is a 270-degree panorama of river, forest and Himalayan foothills. The jump itself is a free-fall of approximately 3.5 seconds before the bungee cord arrests the fall and rebounds.

Budget, Hotels & Travel Tips
- Book well in advance for weekends: October–November and February–March weekend slots fill weeks ahead. Book online on the Jumpin Heights website when your Rishikesh dates are confirmed — refund policies vary, confirm at booking.
- Combine with camping or rafting: Jumpin Heights is on the Badrinath highway 15 km from Rishikesh — the Shivpuri rafting area is 1 km further along the same road. An action-packed day: morning rafting at Shivpuri → lunch → afternoon bungee at Jumpin Heights. Return to Rishikesh by 5 PM.
- Wear the right shoes: Proper footwear is a safety requirement at Jumpin Heights — trainers/sports shoes with laced tops. Open footwear will not be permitted on the platform.
- The video package: Buy the video. The GoPro footage from the jump platform captures the moment in a way that photographs alone cannot. Available at the venue for ₹500–₁,000 depending on format.
FAQs
- How much does bungee jumping cost in Rishikesh?
- The Jumpin Heights bungee jump (83m, the standard Rishikesh bungee) costs ₹3,550 per person (2026 rate). The flying fox (1-km zip-line) is ₹1,100; the giant swing ₹1,550. Combo packages are slightly cheaper than booking separately: bungee + flying fox ₹4,300; all three activities ₹5,500. These are the prices at the venue; online booking prices are the same — there is no meaningful discount through other channels. Note: no GST is charged separately (GST is included in the quoted price).
- Is bungee jumping in Rishikesh safe?
- Jumpin Heights has operated at Mohan Chatti since 2010 with an excellent safety record. The platform is a fixed cantilever structure (not a bridge or crane) — the most stable form of bungee infrastructure. Bungee cords are certified by the operator to New Zealand standards (New Zealand-origin bungee technology). Safety rules (weight/age/medical restrictions) are strictly enforced. The risk of injury from a properly conducted bungee jump with a certified operator is extremely low. The main safety risk comes from ignoring the health exclusion rules — do not jump if you have any of the excluded conditions listed above.
