From Neemrana to Nirvana



Gone are the days when we used to think that “food, cloth and shelter” were the only things for a good living. “All we need is love” is a lie too. Sadly it’s true… High time to dump these age old ways of thinking, that’s passé guys. Be happy, proactive and alive by adding a bit of shopping, good food, recreational activities, gadgets and hang outs to your life. Trust me, a dab of love; food and travelling always works the best. With these things there is a sense of satisfaction assured. Especially with travel (my favourite). Wink! 

"Travelling is my drug of choice„ "One day I’ll travel the whole world". Hahaha.. I so use such quotes while posting/changing my pictures on Facebook and Whatsapp. Seriously, no matter how low I feel at a particular hour of a day, but when it comes to gratify my lust for travel and adventure, I’m always game for it. Let me confess I’m too sporadic with anything and everything barring my roaming streak. I swear my phone costs me more for my roaming charges. Lol.




Okay… Absolutely coming back to the point. Well much to your surprise, I was suffering from low esteem issues that I couldn't do Flying Fox zipping unlike few of my friends. Urgh!! And I was trying so hard to make this program possible since ages but all my efforts got wasted. Then I decided to keep these efforts at bay. But few days back, I got this chance to visit Neemrana and experience the eagerly awaited zip tour thanks to a friend’s birthday. Yay yay!!




Friends, you won’t believe but this plan was a perfectly unplanned one. In the midst of our birthday celebration discussion, as always, I suggested trying something different and that was this zipping idea. Ting! All got convinced in no time and I made my hay while sun was shining. Grin… Being a Delhiite, it was just a matter of 2-2.5 hours road travel to reach Neemrana Fort Palace and to enjoy this zip tour positioned on an outcrop of the Aravalli hill range. For me, it was an ecstatic escape from the mundane work, the capital and its noise for a day. This excursion cum adventure mind-bogglingly fed my hungry travel & adventurous buds.

Before starting this herculean task, what was keeping me mentally occupied apart from enthusiasm was my apprehension. With butterflies in my stomach, I was taking zip training with safety briefing. All mixed emotions were then my food for thought. Needless to say, some hiking was also involved with this exhilarating adventure.

Believe me; once I started zipping there was no room left for fear. With each passing zip wire, there was only an awesome, fearless and safe experience behind. This tour of five zip wires took me high over the Aravalli Mountains of Rajasthan with superlative views of 15th Century Neemrana Fort Palace. With a smile on my face, I shouted “ta da” as I finished this thrilling aerial tour. Yippie finally I did it!!





Well, combined with a mind-blowing location, striking views and International safety standards, this aerial adventure really was overwhelming. So, in short yes, the experience was beautiful. With a group of 12 people, this tour took approximately 2 hours. The trainers and staff of Flying Fox were exceptionally good.











With this zip wire adventure, Neemrana Fort Palace had also some more thrilling activities, amazing views and delectable food to offer. Sans forgetting, let me tell you that except zipping, I enjoyed the amazing view of Rajasthan sunset too from the terrace of the fort palace with a cup of tea. And that was the time which actually motivated me to share my experience with all of you through this blog.

So friends, I think if you stay in Delhi or around Delhi and are looking for an adventurous day out of the city, then Flying Fox Neemrana is an apt destination for you. Now don’t listen to what i say, just go, see and create your own experience. Go go, give wings to your coming weekend. Ciao...
