The opportunity to try out new things is just one of the many blessings that traveling has bestowed upon the world. And I've been fortunate to be blessed the same way. In school, I was never the kid who raised his hand when the teacher asked "who wants to try out for athletics/sports". I feared going out of my comfort zone. That fear stayed with me through my teens! And would have stayed with me today, if it wasn't for motorcycles.

Now, let's get back to the Zipline! This line spans for a massive 1.8 km and drops in elevation by 600m from start to finish, which is a substantial decline! And has hence earned the tag - "World's Steepest Zipline". The Zipflyer was setup by @hgnepal Highground Adventures in Pokhara, Nepal. An organization that's been around for a decade in the adventure industry and know very well what they're doing!
.
They have their store in Pokhara Lakeside. Where they've put up big posters and banners for their Ziplyer (with the tag "World's Steepest Zipline!") and their Bungee jump (more on that later!). Being in Pokhara, where every traveler gets oneself into some sort of adventure, I had to answer the call! And I signed up for both the Ziplyer and the Bunjee jump.
.
To be honest, I was still a bit afraid of both the activities. But when I reached, it was extremely comforting to see that they paid a ton of attention to safety!
.
To be continued... (the Bunjeee jump!)
