The Giant Swing is one of the most extreme adventurous sports. Adventure seekers who indulge in such a sport need extra guts and the right spot to undertake this activity. Rishikesh is the perfect place that can do complete justice to this genre of sport. The clear skies, the surrounding mountains, and the amazing weather make it a lifetime experience.

So, relish the feeling of excitement and anticipation that rushes through you as you reach the destination. Let all your initial anxiety turn into sheer bliss when the cold mountain air hits your face with the smooth movement of the swing.

Now, you can experience this extreme adventure sport.

The Giant Swing sport is operated from the same platform as that bungee jumping. In this, instead of attaching a cord to your ankles, a seat harness is provided. The seat is attached to two ropes. So that the ropes attached to the harness start swinging like a pendulum. This looks like one Giant Swing which is tied from a height of 83 meters. This activity can also be done by two people together.
