Hey Amar, I am gonna be there and i hope you will try these things this time. I have tried following:
Rock climing - I did this at Kolad. And i was amongst few of our company employees to reach the summet. It’s lot of fun ad strength and technique. Will tell you tomorrow. A sighted oral guidance is needed from the ground, like to your left, up, down etc. for finding fissures and projections to hold ourselves. This is a slippery business and you will have to trust the rope holding you )). But i don’t know what is rock climbing (through zorbing), fox flying: Hey, it is really not flying. You just walk on the rope frame, surrounded by well covered ropes, Biking: Not sure if it is like a biking done in malls. Then i wonder if a VI can enjoy at all. horse riding: Most fulfilling for me. Because i love animals and you don’t feel dependant much if horse knows it’s charted way to trot or run. No risk of banging in to anything as horse can see You’ve got to have a good padding under your seat ))) Only caution is horse should be a obedient one and you shall know how to rein it in. No idea about flight simulators but most simulators VI may not enjoy as he will only feel the vibration and jerks and it’s not much fun for the VI like in 4d movies. Hey but there are more exciting stuff at Imagica. M waiting for the rides such as Nitro, screamer, D2, Space 360-free fall and I for India. I am going to request Payal to insist everyone to be on time so we don’t waste a precious time and please bring your swimming clothes so we are not shy of trying water cannon rides. ~cheers On 1/17/15, Bhavya shah <bhavya.shah...@gmail.com> wrote: > I've done trekking some months ago in Karnala, trekked uphill with > friends, but felt downhill was a bit riskier, so partially came down > with friends, and partially with our trekking instructor.
