83 metres. That's how far you fall before the cord pulls you back.

Here's what you need to know before you book yours.
Where Is Bungee Jumping Done in Rishikesh?

The height is 83 metres, making it one of the highest bungee jumps in India.

What Happens on the Day

Step 3 - Gear up. You're strapped into a full-body harness. The cord is checked twice.
Step 4 - Walk to the platform. The 83-metre view hits differently when you're standing on the edge.
Step 5 - The jump. 3… 2… 1. That's it. The rest happens in 3 seconds.
Step 6 - Certificate and photos. Photos and videos are available for purchase at the site.
Honest FAQs People Are Too Scared to Ask
Does it hurt?
The jerk at the bottom of the fall is strong. Your body will feel it in your legs and back for a moment - like a firm tug. It's not painful, but it's intense.
What if I freeze on the platform?
It happens. Instructors are trained to handle this - they'll talk you through it. But no one is pushed. If you decide not to jump, you don't jump.
Is it scarier than roller coasters?
Yes. Roller coasters move. You choose to step off the edge. That mental battle is what makes it memorable.
Is the bungee cord safe?
Yes, when you book through a certified operator. The cords are checked before every jump and replaced after a set number of uses. This is non-negotiable.
Best Time to Go
Visit between October and May for the best experience. Early morning slots (before 10 AM) are recommended - the air is cooler and the queues are shorter.
Avoid monsoon months (July-September) - the site may be closed due to weather.
