Ziplining


Ziplining at Whister (around 2-3 hours from Vancouver)
The feeling that I can't describe. One of so different experience I had in last 20 years of my existence on this planet.

When I was just about to go - All I felt was fear !
Once you are in air - All you feel is freedom !
Those wonderful seconds of life were precious.
Going in air at 80km/hr and about 20 stories height.Risk is your life ! May be it was moment I saw life so closely.

Feeling was too much !






Life is adventure. I guess this was once in lifetime experience. I even paid a lot for this trill ~ may be almost equivalent sum to fly from kashmir to kanyakumari, but was happy because the money was even raised for some social cause. Our guide to this brave new adventure was some English Lady. She talked of sustainability of environment. One point she told me was that powerful and touching to me that I can't even forget today - months later. " We should talk of sustainability, but that should not lead poor to hunger" Clearly, message she meant was we should take care of future generation ..but first we need to better help present generation (millions even can't afford food to eat). The Ecotour part of the tour was informative and interesting and also inspirational.

Anyway, Ziplining was an amazing experience. I would recommend for everyone. Given a chance I wanna have this ride again. Gliding miles in sky from platform to platform; with scenic beauty so amazing and few suspension bridges in between. It was fun, we had seasons in the sun.
