India's highest bungee jump is the Maa Ganga Bungy at Adventure Island Rishikesh — a 219 metre cliff platform above the Ganga gorge at Shivpuri, with a rooftop launch at 222 metres for anyone who wants the record-height version.
Why height is only half the story
A number on a poster does not tell you what the drop feels like. This jump is built into a river gorge, so you are not falling towards flat ground — you are falling into a valley with the Ganga running green underneath you and cliff walls on both sides. The visual scale makes 219 metres read as much more.
Classic vs rooftop: which should you pick?
| Classic | Rooftop | |
|---|---|---|
| Height | 219 m | 222 m |
| Price | ₹5,000 | ₹6,000 |
| Launch | Main cliff platform | Higher rooftop deck |
| Best for | First timers | Repeat jumpers and bragging rights |
If it is your first bungee, take the classic. The extra three metres will not change the experience much, but the walk to the rooftop edge will absolutely test your nerve.
Getting there
Shivpuri sits on the Rishikesh–Badrinath highway, roughly 30 to 40 minutes from Rishikesh town and Tapovan by road. Dehradun airport is about two hours away, and Haridwar is the nearest major railhead.
Make a day of it
Shivpuri is also the launch point for the 16 km Ganga rafting run, and the giant swing operates from the same cliff. Most people who travel out for the jump pair it with rafting the same day — jump in the morning, raft in the afternoon.
