Travelers descending on Rishikesh, Uttarakhand,  this tourist season will have a new activity to set their sights on: Bungee jumping. An 83 meter cantilever platform  has been constructed over the rocky terrain along scenic Neelkanth Rd at Mohanchatti.

This location, roughly 13 km from the famous Lahskman Jhula Bridge, delivers a powerful punch of adrenaline to thrill seekers as they jump above a tributary of Ganges River below. After the jump, guests are lowered into a drop zone in the river with only 2 feet of water to maneuver through.

The bungy jump is open from September 15, 2011 to July 15, 2012. More information plus prices can be found at jumpingheights.com
