Tandem Jump is surely going to be the best choice for skydiving in India. The simplest form of skydiving in India, here you are connected to an instructor via a harness. Both of you jump together using the same parachute and the instructor pulls the cord.

2. Static Line Jump

In this skydive, you are connected with a cord to the aircraft. And the parachute opens automatically after around 3 seconds of freefall with no action required by the passenger. If you are planning to try Static Line Jump, make sure you follow all the safety instructions given to you.

The jump is made from only 3,000 feet.
