Adventure Activities
On this page, you will get a glimpse of all the adventure activities I have tried in life. From extreme motorcycle rides to bungy jumping to skydiving, I will share about all such experiences here.
The reason why I decided to make a repository of such activities on my blog is that I am scared of many things – falling from the height is one of them. By attempting adventure activities like Bungy jumping and skydiving, I overcome my fears.
By sharing my experiences of such adventure activities I want to convey a simple message “if I can do it so can you”.
By doing things I have always been scared of, I overcome my fears. And it is by overcoming my fears I become the stronger version of me.
I am more into adventure living than trying such adventure activities for a moment and calling myself ADVENTUROUS. Experiences like solo camping in the wilderness, solo trekking in the Himalayas, solo travelling in a new country are, therefore, more addiction than trying Bungy Jumping or skydiving.
But they all have their own significance. The adrenaline you feel before jumping off a 100m cliff has no comparison with the fear of solo camping in a jungle. Hence, every experience has its importance.
So as I said before, it is by doing such adventure activities – whether it is camping in the jungle or riding solo on world’s deadliest roads in the Himalayas or jumping off a 100m cliff – I become the stronger version of me. And hence the need to talk about them!

Life Underwater: a serene, slow-motion world, almost tranquil and unreal. I remember during my first scuba diving experience I was half scared. The idea of leaving the world I knew and entering into something far more mysterious and oblivious was undoubtedly scary. And the fact that every cry, every yell, was only going to be

Confidently balancing on my board, I continued my first snowboarding experience. Gliding down the slope with the grace of a gazelle, I slid for a few metres before hopelessly landing on my chest. I realised, when I snowboard, I enter into some kind of meditative mode, trying to balance and not fall off the board.
