    So climb up to India's highest fixed platform for bungee jumping and take a deep breath. Look around at the mountains and the treetops, breathe in the silence… and JUMP!

    You'll plummet through the air, freefalling from the height of a 22 storey building, while the river below roars with all its might.

Once you've managed to catch your breath, you'll be lowered into the river below, into 2 feet of water; grateful to touch land again.
