About Bungee Jumping in Rishikesh
Bungee jumping in Rishikesh at Jumpin Heights is the most famous single-activity adventure experience in India. Set at Mohanchatti, 16 km from central Rishikesh, the 83-metre fixed cantilever platform is the highest bungee jump in India and one of the highest in Asia. You jump off a specially designed platform cantilevered over a dry mountain gorge, freefalling 83 metres at 75+ kmph before the bungee cord arrests your fall and sends you rebounding into the sky.
Jumpin Heights was established in 2010 by Vikram Bawa and uses New Zealand-trained bungee master instructors and New Zealand-sourced equipment. All ropes, harnesses, and platforms are certified to New Zealand Safety Standards — the global benchmark for bungee jumping safety. The company has conducted over 200,000 jumps without a serious injury, making it one of the safest bungee operations in Asia.
Beyond the standard 83-metre bungee jump, Jumpin Heights also offers the Giant Swing (swing across the gorge, up to 55 metres from the cliffs at 160 kmph) and Flying Fox (zip line across the gorge). Combining all three in a single session is the ultimate Rishikesh adventure experience and is available as a combo package at a discounted rate.

About Jumpin Heights & Safety Standards
Jumpin Heights was founded in 2010 with the specific goal of introducing world-standard adventure sports infrastructure to India. The founders brought New Zealand bungee experts to Rishikesh to design the platform, train the instructors, and certify the operations. The 83-metre fixed platform at Mohanchatti was designed for a permanent installation — it is not a portable crane-based setup like many budget bungee operations, but a purpose-built cantilever over a natural gorge.
The company quickly earned a reputation for safety, professionalism, and reliability that made it the gold standard for bungee jumping in India. With over 200,000 successful jumps completed since 2010, Jumpin Heights has introduced bungee jumping to hundreds of thousands of first-timers from across India and the world. The Giant Swing was added in 2013 and Flying Fox in 2015, creating a full adventure complex at Mohanchatti.
