Bungee Jumping in Rishikesh Experience, Highest Bungee Spot in India
Bungee jumping in Rishikesh is one of the best and adventurous sports for the adrenaline rush junkies and I had to try it.
I went to Jumpin Heights, Rishikesh with my friends. I knew that bungee jumping was a must to do adventure activity in Rishikesh which is the highest Bungee jump spot in India anywhere, this was definitely the place to do it at the height of 83m.
While sitting in my office, I made my bookings well through jumping height website and get the desired time slot and the day. Finally, the day arrived. From Rishikesh, I took a bus ride about 30 minutes to the Jumping heights office.
When I checked in for my bungee the staff at the reception asked me to fill in a health questionnaire and sign a liability and indemnity waiver form. Then asked to empty my pockets and remove all loose items basically anything I can loose while bungee jumping, and then I was asked to step on the scales! my weight was written on my hand with a marker so the Bungy instructors at the bridge know how to calculate the length of bungee jumping rope. Then headed to the bridge which is about 500m away from the office and watched a few jumpers go first. I got into our safety harnesses waiting in queue for my turn.
“Your turn, Gaurav”, said the jump instructor at Jumping Heights, Rishikesh.
“Oh yes”, I thought. However, I smiled and said “Awesome!”
As I walked towards the edge of the ledge and gazed down the Ganga river seemed miles away. I am scared of heights and this is the best opportunity to face my fears. I told to the instructor just to give a few seconds to mentally prepare and then took a deep breath and took the plunge when the instructor went Three — Two- One — Gooo!!! as that is your cue.
This is my first experience when I was going to bungee jump!
Which felt like an eternity but in reality was just a couple of second and I a moment you feel like I’m close to death and after a few bounces, the bridge crew lowered my bungee rope, and I saw a team approaching towards me and asked me to grab the pole they are holding out while I was still tied to my rope upside down. They then remove the harnesses once you are lying on the ground.
It was a magical experience that will give you memories of life. Then headed to the center by trekking the mountains and reach the cafeteria to see the pictures and the video captured quickly and bought them straight away. They also gave a complimentary “I have got guts” badge and certificate.
Overall, I had an amazing and wonderful experience and was thrilled to be able to tick this experience off my bucket list.
