The launch featured three successful jumps, marking the start of an exhilarating new adventure experience in the state.

The newly launched bungee jumping facility meets world-class safety standards, with internationally certified equipment and trained professionals ensuring a secure and thrilling experience for all participants. Subba also announced that, after a training period, local youth would take over operations, making the activity accessible to all adventure enthusiasts.
With its breathtaking Himalayan backdrop, Singshore Bridge is set to become a premier adventure tourism hotspot, attracting thrill-seekers from across India and beyond.
