The Complete Della Adventure Story now up at Gonomad
My complete Della Adventure, Lonavala Story is now up at Gonomad. Give it a look! Avantika and Sanyukta made me experiment with a lot of adventure stuff. I would not have done half of it without their constant “you should try this.” The first thing that I tried was the high rope activities. When I…

The High Rope and ATV Activities at Della Adventure
I have to say that when I started climbing up the platform for the high rope activities I was quite sure that at some stage I would miss a step and I would be hanging from the safety rope! It has been ages since I did anything like this (can’t remember when I did something…
