Rishikesh is where bungee jumping in India grew up, and Shivpuri — about a 30 minute drive upriver from Rishikesh town — is where the biggest jumps happen. Adventure Island Rishikesh operates the Maa Ganga Bungy here: a cliff platform standing 219 metres above the Ganga gorge, plus a rooftop send at 222 metres for people who want the extra three metres of regret.
This guide covers the two jumps we run, what they cost, who can jump, and the practical stuff nobody tells you until you are already clipped in.

How high is the Rishikesh bungee jump?
The classic platform sits 219 metres above the river gorge, which makes it India's highest bungee jump. The rooftop variant adds three metres and launches you from higher up the same structure. For scale: you are falling further than a 60 storey building before the cord starts to slow you down.
What the jump actually feels like
- Registration and weigh-in — your weight decides the cord and the rebound.
- Harness fit and double checks by the jump masters.
- The walk to the edge — this is the hard part, not the fall.
- Three, two, one, and roughly four seconds of pure free fall over the Ganga.
- The cord loads, the rebound throws you back up, then a long slow swing while the crew brings you in.
Who can jump?
- Jumpers must be in reasonable health and within the weight limits confirmed at weigh-in.
- Heart conditions, recent surgery, spinal or neck injuries and pregnancy rule you out.
- No alcohol before jumping — you will be turned away.
- Minors need a guardian present to sign consent.
