Meghalaya, best known for its cloud-kissed landscapes, root bridges, and mystical caves, has now added a new dimension to its appeal: bungee jumping. For thrill-seekers who crave adrenaline with a side of scenic beauty, this northeastern gem offers the perfect leap of faith.
A Leap Above the Clouds Set amidst the green cliffs and plunging valleys of the Khasi Hills, Meghalaya’s bungee jumping spots deliver not just excitement, but also panoramic views that take your breath away—literally and figuratively. One of the most exciting destinations is near the town of Sohra (Cherrapunji), famous for its waterfalls and record-setting rainfall.
Operated by licensed adventure tour companies, the bungee jump setup is typically erected near deep gorges, with safety gear and trained professionals ensuring that your experience is thrilling yet secure. Jumps are usually from platforms set 70–100 feet above ground, with views of forest canopies and hidden waterfalls.
Safety First If you’re concerned about safety, you’re not alone. All operators in Meghalaya follow international protocols:
High-quality elastic cords and harnesses
Pre-jump health and weight checks
Instructors with first-aid certification
Emergency response setup on site
Jumpers must be aged 18+, and most companies have weight limits between 40–100 kg.
Best Time to Jump Dry seasons—October to April—are ideal. During this time, visibility is clear, the skies are bright, and the valleys look stunning in the sunshine.
Booking & Packages Several adventure tour operators offer bungee packages that include pickup and drop-off from Shillong or Sohra, professional photography/videography of your jump, and optional combo adventures like ziplining, rock climbing, and cave exploration.
Average cost per jump: INR 2,500–4,000, depending on the package and location.
Why You Should Try It Bungee jumping in Meghalaya isn't just a thrill—it’s a poetic plunge into one of India’s most serene states. It's about conquering fear while surrounded by nature’s symphony. Whether you're an adrenaline junkie or a first-time jumper, the experience leaves you feeling bold, free, and deeply alive.
