The day i flew like bird -- paragliding

As an adventure enthusiast, the happiness is striking of the task in the bucket list by accomplishing it.
this time its an unplanned adventure, Paragliding.

25th March 2016.

I was on a trip with my friends in idduki, kerala. it was a long weekend as it was good friday.
we were at kerala to explore vagamon, iddukki and kumliy. on day one on the way to Vagamon pine forests, i spotted a board beside the board which stated "paragliding station".

We were excited to watch the flying glides in the sky and decided to have a closer look on the activity. as we approach the point, my mind was rushing with excitement and at same time was juggling with the decision if i need to give a try on this or not.

after watching the big paraglides, i decided to give a try on this. something was repeating in my mind if not now, then when ?. Even my friends encouraged to take up the adventure.

A day in Paris

Image
It was an official trip to Germany in the month of April, from 7th to 12th. our flight back to Bangalore was on 14th morning. i was wondering how best i can utilize one day in Europe, initial plan was to just roam around the city and end the day. but a wild thought came to visit France, Paris to be specific. we are skeptical about the tickets and the way of transport to reach there and of all the things apart we actually had hardly 7 hours to spend time in Paris. Finally we are happy to get tickets at DB Bhan, stuttgart railway station, the lady at the counter understood our requirement and gave a discounted price of 200 Euros each with return ticket to paris from Germany in high speed train (TGV). Myself and Manjunath were all set to visit the most romantic city in the world Paris.our train was at 6:55am from stuttgart to Paris Est. it was 3 n half hours journey, where train was at max speeds of 320km/hr. it was an amazing experience. we packed some food for the day on the previo...

It all started a month ago, the urge  for a real ride, a long ride which should include some adventure too.   In the process of finalizing the  destination many were short listed but this  place got the final nod from all the fellow riders,  yes!! It’s Dandeli this time – approx. 600kms in a day (ready for half saddle sore :P,Hope  next  time we are getting a IBA certificate :D). We called it as a preparation ride to get Leh’D which would be done this somewhere in the monsoon this year.. As usual the hurdles for the ride is getting  away from office for 2 or 3 days, everyone had there own reasons for not getting more than 2days leave. So the date was fixed that we are riding on 16 th , 17 th and 18 th .   Even though we dint get an off  on 16 th which is Friday, we managed to fly off from office in the second half and  yes, we left at 1 pm as per plan. It was well planned that  Puneeth  Shushru...
