A tandem skydive in India costs INR 35,400 at Skyhigh India, jumping from 10,000 ft — the country's established commercial operation, flying at Narnaul in Haryana and at seasonal camps in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh. Add the video package and it's INR 42,999. A full AFF licence course is INR 2,50,000. Those are live operator prices from the current price list, not estimates — and this guide breaks down exactly what they include, what costs extra, and when it's worth comparing a trip abroad.
What the price includes
- Your licensed tandem instructor and all equipment — harness, jumpsuit, goggles, main and reserve canopies.
- Ground training and the pre-jump briefing.
- The aircraft lift to 10,000 ft, roughly 30–40 seconds of freefall, and a 4–5 minute canopy ride down.
- On the INR 42,999 package: edited video and photos of your jump. Personal phones and cameras can't come with you, so this is the only record you'll get — most first-timers consider it worth the difference.
Fees to watch for
Booking through Skydive In Asia locks the listed price. On the day, operators in India — as everywhere — may apply extras that aren't in the base price: typically weight surcharges above the standard limit, and spectator or transport costs depending on the site. Confirm your weight band when you book and check the day-of logistics on the listing so nothing surprises you at the manifest desk.
Narnaul or Ujjain?
Same operator, same standards, same 10,000 ft jump, same prices. Narnaul — about three hours by road from Delhi — is the regular fixture; Ujjain runs as a seasonal camp that brings the dropzone to central India for part of the year, with dates varying season to season. October to March is the window that matters either way: post-monsoon air, clear mornings, calm winds.
Is it cheaper to fly abroad?
Honest answer: sometimes. Thailand's tandems start at THB 8,000–9,450 (roughly INR 20,000–24,000) from a higher 13,000 ft exit, and a full AFF course there runs about THB 88,000 (around INR 2,20,000) — so with cheap flights, a Thailand jump trip can rival jumping at home. What India offers is convenience: no visa-and-flights overhead for a single jump, and a DGCA-approved, USPA-affiliated operation a drive from Delhi. For one bucket-list tandem, jump in India. For a licence course you can wrap in a holiday, run the numbers on skydiving in Thailand too.
