Soar 120 meters above the rugged Himalayan river gorge on a 1-kilometer steel cable. Fly solo, tandem, or trio with automated motorized return winch systems and EN 15567 European safety standards.
Spanning an entire mountain valley in Mohan Chatti, this industrial aerial cableway merges high-tensile metallurgy with precision ceramic pulley aerodynamics.
Unlike recreational playground ziplines built on thin 8mm wires, the Rishikesh Flying Fox utilizes a continuous 1,000-meter (1 kilometer) heavy-duty 19mm diameter aircraft-grade galvanized steel wire rope. Engineered with a multi-strand steel core (IWRC) and hot-dipped zinc corrosion protection to withstand Himalayan weather extremes, the cable boasts a certified minimum breaking strength exceeding 10 metric tonnes (>10,000 kg / 22,000 lbs).
The cable is anchored into massive reinforced concrete foundations anchored into deep subterranean granite strata on both mountain peaks, with computerized tensioning jacks maintaining precise sag-to-span ratios for optimal gravitational acceleration and smooth deceleration buffering.
Flyers are suspended from custom dual stainless steel tandem trolley units equipped with precision ceramic sealed ball bearings. These aerodynamic trolleys eliminate friction, allowing smooth, silent acceleration through the mountain canyon at velocities reaching 140 km/h.
From the explosive 0 to 100 km/h gravity launch to the effortless motorized return glide, discover the full physics lifecycle.
The flight begins as the electronic launch gate opens. Driven by gravitational potential energy over an 80-meter vertical drop between the launch gantry and valley landing station, the flyer accelerates rapidly from zero to 100 km/h within the first 8 seconds of flight.
Midway through the kilometer-long span, you reach peak speeds of 140 km/h (in solo aerodynamic posture) or 120 km/h (in tandem mode), soaring 120 meters above the roaring rapids of the Hyul River and lush sal forest canopy.
Deceleration is handled seamlessly through a three-stage passive and mechanical braking architecture:
At traditional zipline setups, finishing a flight requires an exhausting 30 to 45-minute uphill trek carrying heavy gear through rugged terrain. The Mohan Chatti Flying Fox eliminates this entirely through a state-of-the-art automated electric recovery winch:
Fly solo for ultimate aerodynamic speed, or link up with friends, partners, and family members to share the skies.
Experience maximum aerodynamic freedom. Suspended in a horizontal superman posture, you cut through the canyon air with minimal drag for the fastest, most intense flight possible.
Fly side-by-side with your partner, best friend, or spouse. Dual interconnected harnesses allow two flyers to share every scream, laugh, and breathtaking view in perfect synchronization.
The ultimate group and family flight formation. Three flyers are linked across a specialized load-distribution spreader bar, perfect for parents flying with children or college squads.
Every component, carabiner, harness, and pulley operates under strict international ropes course and aerial adventure standards.
The Mohan Chatti Flying Fox was engineered and commissioned under European Standard EN 15567 (Part 1: Construction and Safety Requirements, Part 2: Operation Requirements) and the Association for Challenge Course Technology (ACCT) guidelines.
Key safety protocols include:
The Flying Fox is exceptionally accessible across age demographics compared to vertical gravity bungees:
Here is what happens from the moment you arrive at the Mohan Chatti gantry until you disembark with your flight certificate.
Check-in at reception, complete your flight waiver, and step onto calibrated digital scales to determine the exact tandem/solo rigging configuration.
Certified flight marshals fit you with a CE-approved climbing helmet and conduct a demonstration of the horizontal superman posture and braking phase.
You are secured into the ergonomic flight harness. Two independent instructors couple your trolley to the 19mm steel cable and perform a four-eye cross-check.
The launch gate opens and you rocket out over the 120m canyon, flying across 1,000 meters of open sky over forests and rushing white water rapids.
Progressive spring buffers and hydraulic arrestors decelerate your flight smoothly, bringing you to a gentle stop at the valley terminal.
Relax as the electric return winch pulls you smoothly back up the canyon to the launch station, where you unrig and receive your official flight certificate.
