PARASAILING IS CLOSED DUE TO THE WEATHER
Parasailing
PARASAILING is an adventure sport that blends the exhilaration of flying, parachuting and sailing into a single experience. Relatively new to India this activity is the easiest introduction to adrenaline sports, as it requires neither previous experience nor special skills. Harnessed to a parachute, the participant is towed by a jeep and lifted into the air to sail at heights of 200 feet. During the flight, the flyer does nothing except enjoy the view and the ride. At the end, he is brought down to a safe landing, controlled by the jeep. Our youngest participant has been about four years old and the oldest seventy-two! The flyer wears a helmet and a harness and is always attached to the jeep with a tow-rope. A standard sortie of a minimum of 5 minutes air time (or 400 meters), at a height of about 200 feet, is Rs 1,500/-. Parasailing is done after 2 pm, in the afternoon, on a dry lake bed, about a 5 minute drive from the campsite.
Rappelling and Rock-climbing
Sounds tough. But it's actually one of the most fun and exhilarating ways to discover new powers of determination and concentration and to test your stamina. Learn some expert tips, catch that climbing infection, and hey! You're over the rock face and on your way down again.
Our 50-foot climbing wall is the first and only of its kind in the city. A typical day's rock-climbing for the first-timer will start off with a lecture on the equipment, techniques and safety norms; followed by a demonstration.
Each participant will climb with the help of the grips and holds embedded in the wall, using the Balanced Rock-climbing Technique; and descend by Rappelling (also called Abseiling).In rappelling, he will learn to walk backwards down the cliff face using a rope and braking techniques that control speed of descent. The first effort will help him get the hang of it, and he can pit himself against the clock on the next attempt. Every participant is provided with safety gear, and is attached to a safety rope as long as he is on the rock face.
Our rates start at Rs 600/= per head.
Off-Roading / Jeeping
You are taken for a 20 minute cross country drive in 4WD Jeeps. The ride will include hair raising climbs and drops and other thrills that you would never expect a vehicle to do. If you are a good driver (which our instructors will decide) you can drive over some of the obstacles too. Rs 1,000/= per head and up to 3 people in a Jeep.
Orienteering
ORIENTEERING is a fun way of finding your way. This adventure sport is all about navigating. Participants learn to use a Compass and measure distances, so that they can find their way between points laid down on a Route map. The route is about 2.5 kms long and entails about an hours walking cross-country.
A session will cost approximately Rs 600/= per head This reccomended mainly for team building and OBT camps.
Obstacle course
Obstacles or stepping stone? Depends on how you look at it. This activity is a fun way of developing agility and helps people get over fears of physical and mental hurdles. A participant learns, that a few stumbling blocks need not mean that you give up. The course comprises a set of about ten obstacles, which include a Burma bridge, Monkey rope, Croc walk, Spider's web, Leopard's cave and a Robber's climb among others. The participants are divided into small groups under separate instructors and are carefully monitored to see that they follow the laid down procedures and safety rules. After an initial demonstration, the groups are led into a practice session, followed by the real thing.
Charges begin at Rs 600/= per head.
