Zip lining - The Newest Adventure and a Must Try for Thrill Freaks


Zip lininig is a fast becoming the “It” adventure sport in the world as it’s a fun “out of the world” when the adventurer gets to glide smooth on a zip wire to experience the aerial view of the beautiful attraction beneath and across. More popularly known as the flying fox, the zip line or the aerial runway, often also called the death slide for its raw adventure, is technically a pulley that’s suspended on a tyrolean cable which is mounted on some incline. The zip lining adventure is all about allowing the adventurer to be propelled to gravity so that he can traverse the entire distance aerially right from the top to the bottom of the aerial runway that’s suspended in an inclined manner. The support for the zipline cable is usually made of stainless steel, which the zipliner holds on to or he/she is attached to a moving pulley.

Purpose of Zip lining

Today ziplining has become one of the most sought after adventure sports in tourism and is unquestionably one of the newest modes of holiday entertainments. These high, long aerial rides on the ropes were mainly used for accessing the remote, unreachable areas such as the rainforest canopies. Sounds exciting? Well, it is a pure thrill once you EXPERIENCE it.  Today, zip line tours are no more just about accessing forest canopies. 

Where to Zip-line

Now, a major outdoor adventure sport, zip lining has become the most preferred choice for indulging in adventure right from the upscale resorts, historical monuments and palaces to the lush forests, volcano tops, mountain landscapes, picturesque streams and wilderness camps. Ziplining indeed brings out the elements of a greater challenge and a fresh adventure. Some of the most happening zip lining destinations today are Costa Rica, South Africa, India, Hawaii, China and Colorado.

Ziplining with History

Zip lining was once only limited to the rainforest and tropical destinations, which has become an old scene now and has been replaced with newer opportunities, where the audacious travellers can now weave together the thrills of adventure, magnetism of history and vibrancy of culture all in that one aerial runway and zipline down it to explore the world like never before! In that regard, India is one destination of choice, where an exhilarating ziplining ride takes you through the royal beauties of an era gone by, while, you have a panoramic bird’s eye view of the history, culture, customs and beauties of the royal palaces and forts of Rajasthan. The places in Rajasthan, where zip lining has taken its peak are the Neemrana Fort, an ancient heritage hotel and the Mehrangarh Fort Palace.

Famous Melghat Tiger Reserve Now Busy Grooming Ecotourism hubs


Nature lovers and wilderness freaks, there’s some fresh and welcome news for you all! The Melghat Tiger Reserve management has decided to develop Harisal, Chourakund and Shahanoor as ecotourism spots and the project is already underway, which sure takes ecotourism in India to a higher level by another jump. The main idea behind his whole ecotourism project in Melaghat Tiger Reserve is to preserve the core and Critical Tiger Habitats (CTHs) as per the guidelines laid down by the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA).


As per the new rules put forward by the Sponsored Schemes (CSS) of ‘Project Tiger,’ the CTHs and core is not allowed to be accessed by tourists and the ongoing activities of tourism in the Melghat Tiger Reserve and the adjoining areas have been thus, ordered to be phased out to buffer and fringe zones without disturbing its corridors. The Chourakund guest house will be brought under the control of the Forest Development Corporation of Maharashtra (FDCM) which has entered into a MoU agreement with the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) to reserve the wildlife areas for commercial ecotourism in India by developing requisite facilities. Besides Chourakund, the tourist guest houses at Rangubeli, Hatru, Chunkadi and Tarubanda will also be brought under the control of FDCM.


The Harisal and Chourakand regions of Melghat Tiger Reserve are some of the best tourist places in India to be developed for Indian ecoutourism for the very reason that these forested patches have one of the best presences of the wild cats like leopards and tigers and other diverse wildlife. The place bears a strong potential for ecotourism in India and the project aims to spread the tourism zone to more than 100 sq kms. 


However, even though the Semadoh Sankul of Melghat Tiger Reserve comes beset with good facilities for tourist lodging, tourism will be discontinued there in the near future as the area falls under the core zone of the Melghat Tiger Reserve. But, if you are a student or you are part of an educational institute you stand fair chances of being in the exception for touring this nature reserve as educational camps for students will still be allowed to tour this core zone of Melghat Tiger Reserve. Similarly, the Shahanoor region of Akot Wildlife Division of Melghat will be further groomed with nature trails, additional accommodation and better educational facilities to be exploited as another India ecotourism hotspot.


The Melghat Tiger Reserve or MTR encircles the tourist forbidden region of Gugamal National Park and four sanctuaries which are Wan, Melghat, Ambabarwa and Narnala and once the 15 British-era rest houses plus the inspection huts of the Melghat Tiger Reserve renovated, ecotourism in these wilderness hotspots of India will experience a further boost.

India Travel Goes Homogenous to become the Choicest Destination for Homosexual Tourists



India travel is to see some more new dimensions in the tourism sector as the country is soon to emerge out as the “it” destination for special tourists. In other words, India travel is to witness a modern travel trend very soon as it is gradually turning as the hottest travel destination in the world for attracting lesbian and gay tourists from all over the globe. As the government of India lifted up the ban on homosexuality and legalized it a couple of years back, the Indian tour operators have been gearing up fast and are now competing to cater to the homosexual tourists all over the world. 

As India travel goes homogenous to give an equal (or may be for that reason a special!) warm welcome to the gay and lesbian tourists to India, a part of the Indian tourism industry is looking forward eagerly to benefit from the visits by the homosexual travelers. However, the market of homosexual tourism in India is yet to be exploited as concluded by the travel exponents at the 18th South Asia Travel and Tour Expo, where Gay and Lesbian Tourism was the hottest topic of discussion organized under the ITB Berlin banner.




As Sanjay Malhotra, the director of Indjapink (the first Indian gay travel company) analyzed, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Tourists (LGBT) has soared up a lot in the last two years. The increase in the inflow of gay tourists to India has mainly been observed from United States, Canada and Western Europe. Also, it has been studied that for India travel, the gay travellers mostly prefer Rajasthan, Kerala and Varanasi. 


Prior to the couple of years ago before homosexuality in India was legalized, the lesbian and gay tourists would bypass the country for other tourist destinations such as Thailand, Indonesia and Nepal. But with the uplifting and legalizing of homosexual culture in India and rising awareness and respect for the same gender romantic relationships, India travel is sure to soar higher in the coming three years as the hospitality industry is also grooming up especially to cater to the interests of the homosexual travellers and thus, India is all set to become the choicest destination for lesbian and gay travellers.

So, after the two of you have enjoyed a rejuvenating carnal bath it’s time for a candlelit dinner. Some of the best places for a candlelit dinner is the balcony and if you want to break the monotony and impress your sweetheart, simply take them for a surprise in a pre-chosen romantic spot somewhere in the mountains or by the sea beach and lay out the table beautifully to start the wild-eyed game while the two of titillate your tongues with some of your favorite delicacies and wine. Often the luxury hotels and resorts already have such arrangements for the honeymooning couples, so the surprise could be arranged for you by them just as well and may be even in a better way, while you while away the hours getting to know your sweetheart better and closer.



v Romantic Honeymoon Tips III– As long as a couple deeply in love are together, walking hand in hand, miles away from the milling crowd and the worries, it doesn’t matter whether they are watching the sunset or the sunrise. Isn’t it? They just stroll and stroll away; feeling the soft grains of the sands beneath the feet and the fragrance in the air, and the whispers that sing love songs and the sun that celebrates their love whether it rises or it sets. So, take long strolls on the beach, let the hotel arrange a romantic picnic for the two of you on the sand with champagne, blankets and candles and you will live in some moments which will become a part of your sweetest memory for ever.

v Romantic Honeymoon Tips IV– When you are tired strolling enough by the sea beach, playing on the shores or may be hiking the private mountain trails together, it’s time for you to come back in the hotel room and relax. But relaxing doesn’t really mean you have to sleep, coz sleeping doesn’t come so easily when you are having such a beautiful time with your soul mate and you want to enjoy some more. Enliven up those moments buddy! Cuddle up together in the couch or on the cozy spongy bed and watch some romantic movies together. Isn’t that sweet? You bet!



v Romantic Honeymoon Tips V– When you have relaxed enough and would love to recharge your batteries and get going together again, go twin bicycling, which indefinitely is the most romantic sport for honeymooners.
