Neemrana Fort palace - Flying Fox

Upon reaching Jaipur the next day morning I was looking for buses that can take me to Neemrana Fort at almost the midway between Jaipur and Delhi. The Jaipur Delhi highway is a very busy route and one can get buses very frequently. The only problem is there arent any public transport available to take you from the highway to the fort which is some 2 km away. Neemrana Fort, an ancient fort converted to a luxury hotel now was the destination of the Flying Fox who organize Zip tours on steel cables – the hottest adventure sport catching up in the world.

The adventure is in sliding through a steel cable tied between two far off points in the hill adjacent to the Fort. The net distance you get to travel in five stages is close to 1.2 km, the longest one being close to 400m. The experience was fun with a great view of the Aravalli ranges and other terrestrial features as you slide through the wire.

By noon time I was free and I spend time till late afternoon trekking the hill which looked so intimidating from the top. The bonus experience was feather in the cap for the Neemrana trip. The Flying fox team from UK was so professional in their approach and they made the whole experience worthwhile. They were looking for expanding this to other parts of India as well. Hope to see them come up with something more interesting soon.
