The Thrill of Natural River Cliff Jumping in Rishikesh
Cliff jumping earns its reputation fast on a Rishikesh white water trip. Grade III rapids slam you around, then the river suddenly goes glassy, and these tucked away pools sit right under canyon walls of granite.
The rafts pull onto a sandy cove here. Guides walk you up the rock, give clear signals, and watch every step. You stand on the lip of a sheer 30 foot cliff, water glowing below, and your brain goes very quiet. Then you jump. Two seconds of nothing, then cold green water takes you whole.
Instant Flotation Guarantee
Every jumper wears an international standard whitewater life jacket with over 22 lbs of positive buoyancy, popping you back to the surface in less than 2 seconds even if you cannot swim a single stroke.
Combined with Body Surfing
After your leap, drift on your back down the quiet stretch. The current does the work. Rafts drift beside you. The Himalaya fills the whole sky.
