The Ultimate Freefall Adventure
Want to experience the ultimate adrenaline rush and push yourself to the limit? A once-in-a-lifetime adventure, the Giant Swing in Rishikesh blends the excitement of a massive pendulum swing with the thrill of freefall. This activity, which is situated in the center of Uttarakhand’s adventure capital, is ideal for people who wish to intensify their passion for speed and heights.
What is the Giant Swing?
Similar to bungee jumping, the Giant Swing involves being harnessed to a rope and then released to swing like a pendulum from a height of up to 83 meters over the powerful Ganga River and nearby cliffs. It’s an exhilarating, epic swing that combines freedom, excitement, and fear.
Location
The most popular Giant Swing site in Rishikesh is located Shivpur and Mohanchatti, a few kilometers away from the main town. It’s also close to where India’s highest bungee jump is located, making it a hub for adventure lovers.
How It Works
You are securely harnessed and attached to a set of dynamic ropes.
As you step off the edge, instead of bouncing like in bungee jumping, you swing across a huge arc—like a massive human pendulum.
The swing slows down naturally, and once still, you are safely lowered to the ground.
You walk back up to the recovery zone, feeling like a hero!
