Rishikesh isn't only ashrams and aarti. Above the town at Mohanchatti stands India's highest fixed bungee platform — and the adrenaline counterpoint to all that serenity.
The jump at Mohanchatti, about 20-25 km from Rishikesh, is a fixed-platform bungee built on a cliff over a rocky riverbed, standing at roughly 83 metres. It is widely regarded as India's highest fixed bungee jump.
It was set up with New Zealand expertise — the country that invented commercial bungee — and operates to international protocols.
Typical limits: minimum age around 12, weight roughly 40-110 kg, and restrictions for heart conditions, pregnancy, recent surgery, epilepsy, and back or neck problems.
Bungee is safe when run properly. Before booking anywhere, confirm:
Never jump with an unlicensed operator to save money. We only book licensed sites.
Book ahead — slots fill on weekends and holidays. Allow half a day including transfers and briefing. Wear comfortable clothes and secure footwear; remove loose items. Season: year-round, though monsoon days can be cancelled. Pair it with rafting for a full adventure day, then unwind with evening yoga — that contrast is the magic of Rishikesh.
