What Is Maa Ganga Bunjee? The Name Behind India's Highest Bungee Jump

Maa Ganga Bunjee is the name of the signature jump at Adventure Island Rishikesh — a 219 metre cliff platform above the Ganga gorge at Shivpuri, with a 222 metre rooftop option. If you've seen the name and wondered whether it's a different activity to "bungee jumping in Rishikesh," it isn't — it's the same jump, under its own name.

What does "Maa Ganga Bunjee" mean?

In Hindi, "Maa Ganga" means "Mother Ganga" — the respectful name millions of people across India use for the Ganges river. The jump takes its name from the river it hangs directly over: you free fall toward the Ganga itself, with the gorge walls on either side.

Classic vs rooftop Maa Ganga Bunjee

Both jumps use the same certified harnesses, imported cordage and trained bunjee masters. The rooftop variant is three metres higher and launched from a different point on the same structure.

Where is Maa Ganga Bunjee located?

Shivpuri, Rishikesh (Uttarakhand) — about a 30 to 40 minute drive from Rishikesh town, on the same stretch of river as the Ganga rafting put-ins and the giant swing.
