Asia's Highest 83m Cliff Swing • Solo & Tandem

Giant Swing in Rishikesh

You step off the edge into a 83 meter pendulum arc that screams across the gorge at 130 km/h, with 3.2g of centripetal force pressing you into the harness. Mohan Chatti's rugged canyon yawns below. Go it alone, or strap in next to a buddy. The twin Dyneema ropes carry AS/NZS 5848 certification, so the gear's been checked.

The 83-Meter Pendulum Arc Physics

The drop pin release clicks, gravity grabs you, and the fall turns from straight down into a wide horizontal swing. Then 3.2g of centripetal acceleration kicks into your gut. That's the mechanics of it.

Transition from Gravitational Freefall to Centripetal Arc

Thing is, a bungee jump stretches elastic latex cords up and down, vertically. The Giant Swing in Mohan Chatti works nothing like that. You sit upright on the 83 meter cantilever gantry, looking straight out over the canyon, and you swing on non elastic high tensile twin synthetic lines. One big pendulum, suspended over the gorge.

The Jump Master hits the pneumatic release and you drop. Initial freefall hits 1.5 to 2.0 seconds of pure vertical gravitational acceleration, $a = g$, no harness tension yet. Then the 83 meter static lines go fully taut, arrest the plunge, and convert that vertical kinetic energy into a sweeping horizontal pendulum arc. You swing the entire width of the canyon. It's a smooth handoff, but you feel every newton of it.

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

Linear velocity at the bottom of the swing sits around 36 m/s, or 130 km/h. Pendulum radius is $r = 83\text{ meters}$.

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

Pick your poison. Solo leap if you want the raw thing. Tandem if you've got a partner who also needs to scream.

Solo Giant Swing Experience

The Solo Swing strips everything back. You're alone over the abyss, every nerve locked on the countdown. Pin pops and you dive into the canyon with nothing between you and the fall, just 130 km/h of wind in your face and 3.2g shoving you sideways. Pure sensory overload.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Giant Swing

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

Look, the operation runs off a 83 meter (272 feet) Mohan Chatti cantilever gantry. Pin drops and you freefall for 1.5 to 2 seconds straight down. The twin Dyneema lines then tension up and convert the plunge into a 83 meter radius horizontal pendulum swing across the canyon. Top speed touches 130 km/h.

Bungee Jumping flips you head first, ankles tied to an elastic latex cord, bouncing up and down. The Giant Swing keeps you seated upright in a chest and waist harness on non elastic twin synthetic ropes, swinging sideways across the gorge like a giant playground swing, hitting 130 km/h with 3.2g of centripetal force.

Yes, tandem works. The rig uses a load balanced dual harness so two jumpers go at the same instant. It's the only high gravity canyon jump in Rishikesh where two people share the exact same drop.

Minimum age 12 years, bring government photo ID. Solo swing weight window is 40 kg to 110 kg. Tandem swing caps each individual at 110 kg, and the combined weight of both jumpers can't exceed 140 kg.

The whole operation follows Australian and New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 5848:2000. Twin 12mm Dyneema braided ropes, each rated past 4,500 kg breaking strength. Either rope alone can hold the full load, so you get 100% dual redundancy built in.

Pendulum swings die down on their own above the riverbed. An electric winch lowers you onto a recovery raft anchored at the shallow riverbank. Ground marshals unclip your carabiners and walk you back along the nature trail to the cafeteria.

A lot of adrenaline junkies say the Giant Swing hits harder at launch. You're sitting upright, staring at the void, waiting on the drop pin before it gets pulled. Then canyon walls blur past you sideways at 130 km/h. The launch moment is the worst part. And the best part.

Absolutely, the Tandem Swing works wonders for anyone who isn't ready to launch solo. Someone strapped in right beside you changes the whole mental game, and that seated harness position locks you in tight without any wobble. Worth it if nerves are creeping in.

Go with fitted sports gear: track pants, gym tights, knee length sports shorts, plus a breathable tee. Skip the loose skirts, the flowy dresses, the dangling jewelry. Closed toe sports shoes with rubber soles aren't optional, they're mandatory.

Yep, cameras roll every jump. Platform gantry cameras shoot in 4K synchronized with the wrist mounted action cams your jump master wears. Head to the cafeteria media counter once you're back on solid ground, review your footage, and grab the digital files if you want them.

You'll find the site in Mohan Chatti, sitting 15 km from Tapovan along Neelkanth Road. Our scheduled air conditioned shuttle coach runs from Tapovan, or you can drive your own vehicle or grab a taxi. Free parking waits at the jump facility when you roll in.

Jump masters talk you through it with three countdowns and plenty of encouragement. Chickening out? You'll get safely unrigged and brought back down. But here's the catch, gantry slots and rigging resources get pre allocated, so voluntary refusals don't qualify for refunds.
