Standing on the platform above the gorge is the hardest part — the jump itself is over in seconds. Here's what actually happens: check-in and weight verification, a harness and ankle-cuff fitting, a short safety briefing, and then the walk out onto the platform.
Most operators near Rishikesh run the jump at a fixed platform above a river gorge, with trained crew handling every safety check twice. Arrive with a light stomach, wear shoes you can move in, and expect the whole process, including waiting time, to take around an hour even though the jump itself lasts moments.
Afterwards you'll get a certificate and photos — and most people say the second jump is the one they actually enjoy, because they know what to expect.
