Bungee jumping and zorbing in India
Where in India can one jump bungee? I'm primarily interested in jumping off of a bridge or other solid structures but you can contribute with crane and helicopter jumps as well.
Since there isn't much info online about that, I think there's no need for a specific state but here are the ones that are in my itinerary - Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
I found Jumping Heights which seems great but they haven't responded to my email in which I asked them whether advance reservations are necessary or do I just come to the jumping site.
Just so that I don't have to write another separate question, I'm also looking for Zorbing in India and prefer that it takes place in nature instead of the cities.

Adventure sports in India aren't that big as the cost of acquiring equipment is high, and the costs of running such an operation are high too. It's a very Catch-22 thing, as in, yes, there may be excellent spots for bungee jumping around the country but the people with the disposable income who can afford it all live in cities. Many bungee operators operate not from fixed locations outdoors but from temporary locations such as jumping off tethered from a crane or custom-built free-standing structures in cities.
Zorbing is extremely new in India and the equipment is expensive to acquire. I've known of zorbing events taking place in cities, usually in fairs that take place so the experience isn't that great as doing it outdoors - you'll probably only find an opportunity to roll on flat ground or small hills.
Your best bet for both would be to hope for a fair to be taking place in any of the cities you're visiting; bungee jumping operators are easy to find although zorbing is also becoming popular at these since it's 'less extreme'. Unfortunately, fairs are not organised according to a schedule or at any particular time: they happen pretty much when a promoter can get the clearances required to set up an event. Still, it's more common for these to happen around the time of major festivals such as Holi (March-April) or Dusshera / Diwali (September-November).
