Thrill of “Zipping” Comes to Neemrana Fort

The serene Neemrana in Rajasthan, only two hours from Delhi, just got a new dimension: Adventure sports! Tourists can now enjoy the thrill of zipping with the brand new zipping course - apparently the country's first set up by a foreign firm. A zip tour involves flying from one high point to another along zip lines made of ultra-strong steel cables securely anchored to the ground. The zip tour comprises five zip wires which are connected by short walks. A journey can last two-and-a-half to three hours. The activity is popular in North America and Europe but until now has not been available in South Asia. Securely attached to the zip wires via climbing harness and pulley, participants can glide fast enough to feel exhilarated, but slow enough to enjoy the breath-taking views of the Aravalli Hills and Neemrana Fort Palace.
