Or Going for solo uk trip till highlands of Scotland spl for jacobite train ride?

Or getting lost on a solo trek in usa where I only had offline map n some tears
Or getting stuck in sudden waterfall water level rise n then how I came up…
Or even my own motherhood journey which is no less than adventure…

List is endless but the most important n close to my heart is sandan valley giant swing…spl bcoz of it’s unstructured n completely manmade setup,rustic n raw experience and we surrender to nature n mighty mountains

So what excites me for such adventure??
Well challenging ownself,facing ur own fears,realising ur strength,learning to face failures n getup n gather urself and accepting ur weakness too.

So here is that small tale…
Late evening I started my bus journey from mumbai to sandan valley base village.getting fresh at some river and having some packed bf gave me energy to climb up all the way to adventure site.

Briefing ,checking gears,signing papers n looking at the views were increasing my goosebumps and heartbeats.
Starting with valley crossing in burma Bridge n coming back by zip line gave me lil confidence to go for rapelling down 200ft valley…but I had some bruises n hurts n again my nervous mind started stopping me for epic jump…but apun thehra gujju baniya…paisa bhara he ab toh karna hi padega types…lolz…then finally I did my giant swing in this valley…the video narrates my emotions n views.

That day i met a new Alpa…who is limitless and fearless(so I named my inner child as amishta💗which means limitless)Apart of my identity as proud mother I get my one more identity of explorer n learner from nature…isnt it inspiring and beautiful.?

Btw this story has some funny story as well…let me share the laughter with u all.while going in bus I was sitting with some guy and he was constantly following me n getting me chai or water or bla bla…u get that right​:smiley:…I was so scared n nervous that I didn’t had water for 6.7 hrs as I had fears of leaking urine during my adventure…honest confession…hota he yaro aisa bhi …but after last one I had lots of water n in end before boarding bus I had urgency to pee…so I told that guy that m coming in 2 min .I went just lil far(as bus was abt to leave)used my female urinal to stand n pee…n that guy saw me frm bus n may b had some weird shock n imagination…n rest u can imagine…haha…so while travelling back during our tea break that evening he didn’t get me tea or water…m still laughing

Anyways…this giant swing is close to my heart n m so happy to share in the hope it can inspire some to introspect one’s own thinking and strength .
