1. The Thrill of Leaping Over the Himalayan Foothills
Bungee jumping in Rishikesh is one of Asia's most revered extreme adventures. Leaping head-first into a rugged canyon with nothing but high-tensile latex cords attached to your ankles delivers a pure 3 to 4 second zero-gravity freefall followed by gentle harmonic rebounds.
India's premier fixed cantilever bungee platform at Mohan Chatti (Jumpin Heights) was designed by David Allard of New Zealand, operating with rigorous Standards Association of New Zealand (SANZ) safety manuals.
