Right from its relaxed and enjoying attitude to its culture, history, food to the welcoming people to the amazing hip nightlife, Spain for sure is the country to visit for a holistic travel experience.

The Ultimate BunGee Experience in Nepal

Published by vaibhav

Craziness is the word that can best describe this adventure activity where you tie your legs with a rope and jump fall free from a good height conquering your fears. Many people don’t know but Nepal has one of the highest Bungee jumping around the world. I was very skeptical while doing this, in fact I wanted to experience it when I visited Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and that was way before I visited Nepal but wasn’t able to make my mind whether to do it or not. This time when I was in Nepal, I finally decided to give it a try but I kept this activity for the last day of my trip (for obvious reasons, avoiding death till the end hahaha). Came the day on which I could not turn back, there were many many thoughts running in my mind during that briefing on how to jump, the best thing that the instructor told was ‘its very easy, we will say 1 2 3 jump and you have to jump, that’s it’, …

Beautiful Beaches, Nature Reserves, Masai Tribes, Dynamic Kilimanjaro Mountain, Diverse Neighbourhoods of Dar Es Salaam, World Heritage Stone Town and the list is endless. As such any length of time to explore Tanzania is less, but it requires a minimum of 10 days to take a feel of its dynamism. “Take a feel of its dynamism” Start with the capital city Dar Es Salaam, famous for its neighborhoods, fish market, village museum, and local casinos. Early morning you can visit the famous Kivukoni fish market which is not very far from the city center, it’s a great experience to see lakhs of fishes stacked and fishermen coming on the boat to sell their catch, next can be the village museum which literally depicts the different colors and gives you a glimpse of different diverse regions of Tanzania, from there you can go to visit the Indian Neighbourhood where you can find the worship places …
