He lives approximately 20 minutes uphill from the secong bathing spot, and commutes everyday on foot with big baskets and bags.

He has to go 2 kilometres downhill for purchasing all the items, and then comes back up to sell them everyday.

Jumpin Heights

Bungee Platform.

Hello Everyone,

Warning: This Blog is not recommended for the Weak Hearted!

Are you an Adrenaline Junkie?
Do you have the Guts to Feel the Air up your Spine and Body?
If Yes, then Jumpin Heights is The Place to Be!

Started with the Motto, "Got Guts?", in June, 2010, Jumpin Heights was the Brainchild of Mr. Rahul Nigam (Owner and Ex Army Officer).
Jumpin Heights is India's First Bungee Jumping, Flying Fox and Giant Swing Facility and unravels India's First Extreme Adventure Zone in the mystic land of Rishikesh, presenting you with a Triple Threat Experience to all those yearning to challenge their Guts!


The Story behind it was set far away, in New Zealand, when Mr. Nigam was Vacationing there, and found out about Bungee Jumping amidst the Peaceful Land.
He was so overwhelmed with the experience, that he set a whole new Adventure in his mind of setting up and providing the same adventure to all of India.
It took around 3 years for the Setting up and Official Government Licensing of Jumpin Heights, and it finally started up in June, 2010.

Jumpin Heights provides the World with 3 Breathtaking Experiences :-

• Bungee Jumping
• Flying Fox
• Giant Swing.

Jumpin Heights is Managed by Mr. Devendra Gusain (Operation Manager).
An excellent host and helpful lad.

There are two Instructors in the facility, who instruct and analyse all this :-
