Rishikesh Bungee Jump, Mohan Chatti (Jumpin Heights)
Rishikesh, Uttarakhand · nature walk
- Days OpenOpen daily
- Entry Fee₹3700
The Mohan Chatti bungee, run by Jumpin Heights, is India's first fixed-platform bungee jump and remains its highest, sending jumpers off an 83-metre steel cantilever cliff over the rocky course of the Hyul (locally Hual), a small tributary of the Ganga. It sits in the forested Garhwal foothills roughly 20–25 km north of Rishikesh, near the village of Mohan Chatti on the road toward Neelkanth. The platform was engineered and commissioned in 2010 by a team of jumpmasters trained in New Zealand — the country where commercial bungee began — and the operation has built its reputation on a meticulous, safety-first culture rather than showmanship: a rigid steel arm (chosen over a suspension bridge so the jump height never varies), Australian- and New Zealand-standard cords, a dual-harness back-up, and jumpmasters who weigh, brief and clip in every single guest.
Where to Eat Nearby
- ✦The Sitting Elephant — the on-site café at the cliff; simple vegetarian snacks, Maggi and chai for before and after the jump (limited menu; confirm what's cooking that day).
- ✦Vegetarian cafés in Tapovan / Laxman Jhula — Rishikesh is a vegetarian, alcohol-free town, so cafés near the booking office serve pure-veg thalis, bakery items and coffee; ask if you want strictly egg-free.
- ✦A riverside pure-veg café near Laxman Jhula — a relaxed spot above the Ganga for a post-jump coffee and bakery bite; ask for eggless bakes and confirm current timings.
- ✦Chotiwala, Swarg Ashram (across the river; pure-veg institution) — a longer detour, but a dependable pure-vegetarian thali if you continue into central Rishikesh.
About
The Mohan Chatti bungee, run by Jumpin Heights, is India's first fixed-platform bungee jump and remains its highest, sending jumpers off an 83-metre steel cantilever cliff over the rocky course of the Hyul (locally Hual), a small tributary of the Ganga.
- It sits in the forested Garhwal foothills roughly 20–25 km north of Rishikesh, near the village of Mohan Chatti on the road toward Neelkanth.
- The platform was engineered and commissioned in 2010 by a team of jumpmasters trained in New Zealand — the country where commercial bungee began — and the operation has built its reputation on a meticulous, safety-first culture rather than showmanship: a rigid steel arm (chosen over a suspension bridge so the jump height never varies), Australian- and New Zealand-standard cords, a dual-harness back-up, and jumpmasters who weigh, brief and clip in every single guest.
- The same cliff hosts two further activities that share the ticketing and the reporting point.
- The Giant Swing is a 83-metre free-fall arc that pendulums out over the gorge in a wide screaming curve, widely rated the more terrifying of the two because you fall face-forward.
- The Flying Fox is a roughly one-kilometre zip-line — described as Asia's longest fixed-platform flying fox — that can be ridden solo or in a group of three, reaching high speeds across the valley with the river far below.
- Together they make the site a compact adventure hub rather than a single-trick stop. Practical rhythm matters here.
- Guests report to the Tapovan booking office in the morning and are shuttled up to the cliff; the activities run on fixed slots, minimum age is 12, and jumpers must weigh between about 35 and 110 kg.
- The site is usually closed on Tuesdays for maintenance.
- Note the setting: this is a purely adventure outing, not a spiritual one, and no intoxicants are involved — jumpers are screened and anyone impaired is refused for safety.
- For food, remember you are in and around Rishikesh, a holy town that is vegetarian and alcohol-free by law, so eating pure-vegetarian here is effortless.
- The cliff café (The Sitting Elephant) does simple vegetarian snacks and chai while you steel your nerves or celebrate afterwards, and the wider Tapovan–Laxman Jhula belt is full of vegetarian cafés for a proper post-jump meal.

Frequently Asked Questions
How high is the bungee jump at Mohan Chatti and where exactly is it?
It is an 83-metre jump — India's first and highest fixed-platform bungee — off a steel cantilever cliff over the Hyul stream, a small tributary of the Ganga. The site is at Village Mohan Chatti, roughly 20–25 km north of Rishikesh on the Neelkanth road, operated by Jumpin Heights. A rigid steel platform (rather than a bridge) is used so the jump height never changes.
How much does the bungee jump cost, and is there a separate entry fee?
The bungee jump itself is the headline activity and is reported at roughly ₹3,550–₹3,700 per person in 2026, plus a small site entry fee of about ₹100. The Giant Swing and Flying Fox are priced separately, and combo packages covering all three run higher. Prices are revised periodically, so confirm the current rate when you book.
What are the age, weight and health requirements?
The minimum age is 12, and jumpers must weigh roughly between 35 and 110 kg (you are weighed on arrival). Anyone with heart conditions, high blood pressure, recent injuries or who is pregnant is advised not to jump, and jumpmasters can refuse anyone they judge unfit or impaired. This is a safety-screened activity — no intoxicants of any kind are permitted.
What else can you do at the site besides the bungee?
The same cliff runs a Giant Swing — an 83-metre free-fall arc that pendulums face-first over the gorge, which many find scarier than the bungee — and the Flying Fox, a roughly one-kilometre zip-line billed as Asia's longest fixed-platform flying fox, which can be ridden solo or as a group of three. Many visitors take a combo of two or three activities in one morning.
What are the timings and which day is it closed?
Activities run on fixed slots with a morning report time around 9:00 AM; the site is usually closed on Tuesdays for maintenance. You assemble at the Tapovan booking office and are shuttled up to the cliff, so allow a half-day overall. Confirm the day's slots when booking, as weather (especially monsoon) can affect operations.
Where can I eat vegetarian food near the bungee site?
Very easily — Rishikesh is a vegetarian, alcohol-free town by law. The on-site café, The Sitting Elephant, serves simple vegetarian snacks and chai for before and after your jump. For a fuller meal, the Tapovan and Laxman Jhula area near the booking office is packed with pure-vegetarian cafés and bakeries, and Chotiwala in Swarg Ashram is a dependable pure-veg thali institution if you head into central Rishikesh.
