Sky Diving – An experience of a lifetime!

Funky girl has her own travel list. She likes to explore the unexplored territories, travel the road less traveled and feel the breath of fresh air and sunshine, rather than the brown city air!

She always has adventures on the top of her list. May it be scuba diving, sky diving, bungee jumping, etc. Funky girl plans the experiences which only a few people think of!

We bring in a list of activities to you in this segment a list of activities, the funky girl in you, would love to enjoy! We start this segment with sky diving.

​The experience can get as Wild as you want it to be. Imagine jumping from a plane amidst the clouds. How liberating it would be! There are levels in sky diving and you can decide on how much adventure you want. There are three levels. The basic is the tandem jump in which you jump out of the plane along with the guide and they do everything for you. They open the parachute for you and you just have to glide with them! They also take care of the landing. This is the simplest form of sky diving and does not require any prior training. The static jump is another form in which you are connected to the plane with a static line and the parachute opens automatically. You jump alone but it is simple and requires just 3 to 6 hrs of training. The last form is the most adventurous out of the three. Called the accelerated free fall jump, this is what you saw in the movie Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. You need proper training for this and you are the driver in this. You have to manage everything by yourself and this is surely not for the faint-hearted!
