India's Highest Bungee: My 219 m Maa Ganga Bungee Experience
By Prachi Kalal | Udaipur, Rajasthan | Published 21 August 2026
Disclosure: This is my own first-hand account of my June 2026 jump. I booked through [Bucketlistt], and this article is published on the Bucketlistt website.
I never thought I would actually jump from India's highest bungee.
I went to Rishikesh for the first time in June, mostly to explore the city, see the Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat and do what I normally do on a trip explore.
Bungee jumping wasn't even on my plan.
Then I started seeing bucketlistt's ads for the 219 m Maa Ganga Bungee in Devprayag.
At first, I was curious.
Then nervous.
And eventually, I was asking the team the same question again and again:
"It's safe, right?"
This was my first-ever bungee jump.
And somehow, I ended up standing at the edge of 219 metres.

From Rishikesh to Maa Ganga Bungee
I reached the Maa Ganga Bungee office in Tapovan around 9 AM, and from there we headed towards Devprayag — the town where the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi meet to become the Ganga.
The journey took around two hours.
I was nervous the entire way, but the views definitely helped distract me.
And then I saw the tower.
Bro. It was HUGE.
Seeing 219 m in real life was completely different from seeing it in an advertisement.
That was the moment I thought:
"Oh shit. I'm actually going to jump from there."

Standing at the Edge of 219 m
Once we reached, they checked my weight, gave me a waiver and ran a safety briefing.
Then they put the harness on me and checked it I remember it being checked around four separate times.
That actually made me feel more comfortable. I could see they weren't just strapping people in and saying "go."
There's even a board at the jump point that says something like "Don't use your brain."
At that moment I completely understood it. Mine was doing the opposite.
And then came the moment.
I was standing at the edge of 219 metres.
This was the scariest part for me.
I almost backed out.
Actually, I almost backed out twice.
The team kept encouraging me. They didn't give up when I got nervous.
Then they said:
"Aaj nahi toh kabhi nahi."
That stayed in my head.
Okay. One last try.
