Giant Swing in Rishikesh

Leap into an 83-meter sweeping pendulum arc reaching 130 km/h and 3.2g centripetal acceleration over the rugged Mohan Chatti gorge. Fly solo or side-by-side in tandem with AS/NZS 5848 certified twin Dyneema ropes.

The 83-Meter Pendulum Arc Physics

Understand the mechanics of the drop-pin release, the transition from vertical drop to horizontal arc, and the surge of 3.2g centripetal acceleration.

Transition from Gravitational Freefall to Centripetal Arc

Unlike a bungee jump which uses elastic latex cords stretching vertically up and down, the Giant Swing in Mohan Chatti operates on the principle of a giant pendulum suspended by non-elastic, high-tensile twin synthetic lines. You are harnessed in an upright seated position on the 83-meter cantilever gantry, looking straight out over the canyon.

When the Jump Master triggers the pneumatic drop-pin release, you plummet into an initial 1.5 to 2.0 seconds of unhindered pure vertical gravitational drop ($a = g$). As the 83-meter static lines reach full extension, they arrest the downward plunge, smoothly transferring your vertical kinetic energy into a massive, sweeping horizontal pendulum arc spanning across the entire canyon width.

a_c = v^2 / r  |  F_net = m * (g + v^2 / r)

Where $v$ is linear velocity (~36 m/s or 130 km/h) at the bottom nadir and $r = 83\text{ meters}$ is the pendulum swing radius.

Centripetal forces peak at 2.8g to 3.2g at the bottom of the arc, delivering an intense, body-hugging gravity surge without spinal shock.

Solo vs Tandem Swing Dynamics

Choose between the raw individual thrill of the solo leap or share the adrenaline alongside your adventure partner.

Solo Giant Swing Experience

The Solo Swing is pure adrenaline. Suspended alone over the abyss, every sensory nerve is hyper-focused on the countdown. When the pin pops, you dive into the canyon with complete physical freedom, experiencing the full brunt of the 130 km/h wind rush and 3.2g centripetal push.

  • Maximum individual adrenaline rush
  • Weight range: 40 kg to 110 kg
  • Age requirement: 12+ years

Tandem Duo Swing Experience

The Tandem Giant Swing is Rishikesh's premier couples and best-friends activity. Two jumpers are fitted into adjacent tactical harnesses and linked to an interconnected load-distribution spreader bar, allowing both participants to leap and scream in unison.

  • Share the fear and conquer together
  • Max Individual: 90 kg • Combined Max: 140 kg
  • Most popular choice for adventure couples

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Giant Swing

Clear, practical answers about safety, fear factors, tandem requirements, and logistics.

The Giant Swing is operated from the 83-meter (272 feet) Mohan Chatti cantilever gantry. When released, you plunge through an initial 1.5 to 2-second vertical freefall before twin Dyneema lines tension to convert the drop into a massive 83-meter radius sweeping horizontal pendulum arc across the canyon, reaching top speeds of 130 km/h.

In Bungee Jumping, you dive head-first attached by your ankles to an elastic latex cord and bounce vertically up and down. In the Giant Swing, you sit upright in a tactical chest and waist harness attached to non-elastic twin synthetic ropes, swinging horizontally across the gorge like a massive playground swing at 130 km/h with 3.2g centripetal acceleration.

Yes! The Tandem Giant Swing is specially engineered with a load-balanced dual harness rig allowing two jumpers to leap simultaneously. It is the only high-gravity canyon jump in Rishikesh where two people can share the exact same drop experience.

Minimum age is 12 years (with government photo ID). For Solo swings, the allowed weight is 40 kg to 110 kg. For Tandem swings, the maximum individual weight is 90 kg and the combined weight of both participants must not exceed 140 kg.

The Giant Swing adheres to the Australian and New Zealand Standards AS/NZS 5848:2000. It utilizes twin 12mm Dyneema braided ropes rated to over 4,500 kg breaking strength each. Either single rope is capable of holding the entire load independently, providing 100% dual redundancy.

Once the pendulum oscillations come to a natural rest over the riverbed, an electric lowering winch gently lowers you onto a recovery raft anchored on the shallow riverbank. Ground marshals unhook your carabiners and guide you along the scenic nature trail back to the cafeteria.

Many adrenaline enthusiasts find the Giant Swing scarier at the moment of launch because you sit upright facing the void while suspended in the harness before the drop-pin is electronically pulled, followed by the intense sensation of canyon walls rushing past laterally at 130 km/h.

Yes! The Tandem Swing is wonderful for individuals who may feel nervous about jumping alone. Having a partner strapped in beside you provides emotional support, and the seated harness posture feels very secure and comfortable.

Wear fitted sports clothing such as track pants, gym tights, or knee-length sports shorts with a comfortable t-shirt. Avoid loose skirts, dresses, or heavy jewelry. Closed-toe sports shoes with rubber soles are mandatory.

Yes! We capture high-definition 4K video using synchronized platform gantry cameras and wrist-mounted action cams. You can review your footage at the cafeteria media counter and purchase the digital files.

The site is located in Mohan Chatti, 15 km from Tapovan along Neelkanth Road. You can travel on our scheduled air-conditioned shuttle coach from Tapovan or drive your own vehicle/taxi with free parking at the jump facility.

Jump masters provide encouraging support and three countdowns. If you choose not to proceed, you will be safely unrigged. Because gantry slots and rigging resources are pre-allocated, no refunds are issued for voluntary refusals.
