Plunge into an 83-meter gravity-defying freefall reaching 140 km/h over the rugged Himalayan valley, engineered to strict Australian & New Zealand safety standards AS/NZS 5848:2000.
An architectural triumph suspended high above the wild rocky gorge of the Hyul River tributary in the Shivalik Himalayas.
Nestled in the tranquil forested valley of Mohan Chatti, approximately 15 kilometers upstream from Lakshman Jhula and Tapovan along the Neelkanth Temple corridor, stands India's most celebrated extreme gravity installation. Unlike makeshift crane bungees or bridge setups found in leisure parks, the Rishikesh Bungee platform is a custom-engineered cantilever iron truss structure fabricated specifically for commercial extreme gravity sports.
The gantry extends an astounding 15 meters out past the sheer precipice of the cliff face, ensuring that jumpers dive cleanly into open atmospheric space without any proximity to rocky outcroppings or terrain edges. Structural anchor bolts penetrate more than 18 meters into the crystalline Himalayan metamorphic bedrock, secured with seismic-rated industrial epoxy and inspected weekly under ultrasonic load-strain telemetry.
Every element of the launch deck, safety gates, dual-hinged counterweight systems, and recovery winches was overseen and certified by David Allardice, one of New Zealand's foremost bungee engineering pioneers whose foundational work helped establish the Standards Association of New Zealand (SANZ) commercial protocols.
Understand the aerodynamic forces, progressive elasticity, and deceleration mechanics that turn raw gravity into an exhilarating, spine-safe rush.
When you stand at the edge of the cantilever platform with your toes extending into thin air, the initial leap initiates pure gravitational acceleration governed by Newtonian mechanics ($a = g \approx 9.81\text{ m/s}^2$). For the first 4.5 to 5.0 seconds, atmospheric drag is minimal relative to your accelerating mass, plunging you into an authentic state of zero-gravity weightlessness.
As you dive head-first in a classic swan dive posture, your aerodynamic cross-section minimizes drag, allowing you to reach terminal dive velocities of 140 to 160 kilometers per hour before the bungee cord enters its initial elongation phase. The sudden transition from deafening rushing wind to smooth, silky deceleration is where precision elasticity engineering takes command.
F_net = m * g - k * x
Where $k$ represents the progressive spring constant of natural latex cords and $x$ is the elongation displacement past unstretched cord length.
Peak deceleration is strictly engineered not to exceed 3.5g, protecting the spine, neck, and retina.Unlike climbing ropes or static kernmantle lines which produce a violent arresting shock load, commercial bungee cords utilize hundreds of micro-strands of high-grade natural rubber encased within an accordion-woven protective tubular nylon sleeve. This architecture provides non-linear progressive elasticity:
This progressive curve ensures zero whiplash, no spinal compression injuries, and an incomparable feeling of weightless flight.
Our operations adhere strictly to the world's most demanding commercial bungee jumping standard, established by the Standards Association of New Zealand.
All Jump Masters undergo rigorous technical training in New Zealand and Switzerland, logging thousands of operational jumps before qualifying to rig jumpers on the Mohan Chatti gantry.
Every participant is secured via dual neoprene ankle harnesses with independent alloy carabiners, backed by a full-body waist and chest fail-safe climbing harness connected to the primary line.
Every natural latex cord bundle is cataloged with an individual serial registry and automatically decommissioned after exactly 200 jumps or 6 months of UV exposure, regardless of physical appearance.
Before the first jumper steps onto the gantry each morning, engineers conduct non-destructive testing (NDT), calibrate digital load cells, and verify torque settings on all anchor bolts.
Weight verification is conducted twice on high-precision digital scales. Jumpers are categorized into three cord stiffness classes to ensure exact mathematical match with cord modulus.
After oscillation ceases, an electric recovery winch lowers the jumper into the awaiting hands of trained ground marshals and a riverbed safety raft, where harnesses are unclipped in seconds.
Extreme gravity adventures require honest self-declaration. Review our mandatory eligibility criteria before reserving your slot.
For your own cardiovascular and physical safety, individuals with any of the following pre-existing medical conditions are strictly prohibited from bungee jumping:
All participants must meet every criterion below prior to stepping onto the Mohan Chatti gantry:
From reception check-in in Mohan Chatti to your triumphant recovery on the riverbank, here is your minute-by-minute journey.
Arrive at the Mohan Chatti Adventure Zone, present your CIR booking confirmation voucher, and complete the comprehensive electronic medical self-declaration and indemnity agreement.
Step onto calibrated digital floor scales. Your weight is logged to the nearest 100 grams, and an indelible color-coded wristband is issued indicating your exact cord elastic stiffness band (Light, Medium, or Heavy).
Watch a short, high-definition orientation video demonstrating proper posture: arms spread wide in a swan dive, eyes fixed on the horizon, and legs straight to prevent somersaulting during the acceleration phase.
Walk out along the 15-meter cantilever steel bridge suspended 83 meters over the canyon floor. Listen to the roar of the wind and the rushing Hyul river below as adrenaline surges through your veins.
Relax into the jump master's rig chair as two certified instructors wrap your ankles in thick neoprene padding, secure the high-tensile ankle cuffs, and connect your full-body fail-safe harness. A senior jump master conducts an independent four-eye cross-check.
Shuffle your bound feet to the rubberized jump lip. Feel your toes curling over the edge into sheer atmospheric void with 83 meters of pristine Himalayan air directly beneath your feet.
The Jump Master places a steady hand on your shoulder, calls out the loud countdown, and you leap headfirst outward into the abyss with arms spread like an eagle.
Experience 4.5 seconds of sheer weightless ecstasy as the canyon walls rush past at 140 km/h, followed by a velvety smooth deceleration catch and multiple massive skyward rebounds.
As oscillation settles, the automated electric winch lowers you gently onto a recovery raft where ground marshals receive you, unhook your harnesses, hand you a bottle of fresh mountain water, and congratulate your courage.
Enjoy a refreshing 15-minute nature hike back up the shaded river valley trail to the cafeteria, collect your official "Dare to Jump" certificate and wristband, and review your multi-angle 4K jump video on high-definition preview screens.
