Because of the Covid-19, the tourism industry of Nepal is in the sleeping mode. As a trekking and tour guide, there is nothing to do for me. So that I was thinking to do something to refresh and looking for options. So I found a thrilling adventure sport called Zipline and also, nearby Kathmandu, at Dhulikhel. I decided to have my first Zipline experience.
I shared my plan with my very close friends and they are also excited to do that. But we have to wait till Saturday; one of our friends works in a company and he only gets vacation on Saturday. We fixed our plan to go to Dhulikhel to do Zipline; then I contacted the Zipline company regarding prices and I booked for 6 of us. I was so excited as well as a bit nervous because this is the first time I am going to do Zipline.
As we planned we drove to the Dulikhle for a Zipline experience. After one and half hours drive we reached the Zipline spot. When we were there, there were already many people in the queue to buy a ticket. We booked in advance so that we paid the full price for the ticket and were ready to fly. Before flying, we took some photos and listen to the instructions regarding flying.
There are three types of Zipline, Classic Zipline, Spiderman Zipline, and Couple Zipline. And I decided to do Couple Zipline because I was traveling there with my spouse. We were all set to go and it was going to be my first Zipline Experience. Interestingly, I am going to do that together with my soulmate. She was also very excited and a bit nervous to do Zipline but we were together for that so dare to fly.
Ultimately, we were on the top and we got one more time instructions about the fly. We accepted that and the countdown started, three two one and go. For the first few seconds, I felt my heart is stopped and closed my eye. On the side, my wife was shouting wow wow then I open my eye and show my beloved one flying together in a rope. The beautiful landscapes and green forest in down below.
After some time we reached the stop point and there were other instructors are waiting for us to help. They opened the harness and show us to way back down. It was my very first Zipline experience and I enjoyed it a lot with my soulmate. While we are waiting for our friends we ordered some snacks in the restaurant at the ending section. After all, arrived there we ate those snacks and then drive to the starting point.
We collected our personal belongings from the store and then drive back to Kathmandu. Photos they will post on their Facebook page. If we buy the video package then in a few days they will send the videos and photos by email. It was my first awesome and memorable Zipline experience with a loved one.
