The Colombo Lotus Tower and Go Bungy Japan have partnered to bring the world’s highest bungee jump to Sri Lanka for the first time.
Once it opens, it will be the highest bungee jump in the world!
The 350-metre Lotus Tower will begin offering the world’s highest bungee jump on January 1, 2023.
Who is Go Bungy?
Go Bungy International is one of the top adventure tourism organizations in the world. Go Bungy presently runs bungee jumping facilities in Japan, Nepal, China, and Indonesia.
David Horodezny, General Manager of Go Bungy and Bungy Lanka said that Go Bungy jumps more than 50,000 people safely each year and after they set up at Lotus Tower, they intend to carry out 130 jumps every day. There will be 100 jumps in the day and 30 at night.
According to reports, after the inauguration in January, David believes that this will be a significant effort to bring tourists to Sri Lanka.
Who Can Join The World’s Highest Bungee Jump in Sri Lanka?
Those over the age of 15 who meet all the health standards can join the jump. However, those who are between the ages of 15 and 18 must present parental or guardian consent.
You will be weighed before you jump, and the bungee equipment will be adjusted to accommodate your body weight.
Go Bungy meticulously adheres to safety standards, which include double- and triple-checking equipment, to ensure each jumper’s safety. To prevent human error, Go Bungy’s operation manual adheres to strict criteria and detailed checks.
Go Bungy only employs the best equipment available in addition to their extensive safety checks. At each location, there is at least one trained and certified Jump master who has been certified under international safety standards. This is done to further ensure safety for the highest bungee jump in the world.
What is Bungee Jumping?
Bungee jumping is an action-packed leisure activity where an elastic cord is tied to the players’ feet as they jump headfirst from a towering structure.
A building, crane, bridge, or even a helicopter might be that tall structure. After the first contemporary bungee jump in 1979, the activity gained enormous popularity.
Bungee jumping is one of the most popular extreme sports practiced almost everywhere in the world.

Bungee Jumping Tips
- Anything that makes you feel comfortable will suffice for bungee jumping; there are no stringent dress requirements.
- It’s perfectly acceptable to decide not to jump if you are afraid of the height you are at, but it’s important to make that choice ahead, not as the final step.
- It is best to avoid eating much before jumping; jumping on an empty stomach is even better.
- Avoid carrying mobile phones or any valuable objects that will distract you from the experience.
