Extreme Adventure Sports

Duration:2 Hours 

Exertion Level: Hard 

Minimum Group : 4

Camp Site: Munnar

Rock climbing is a full body workout. After a brief lesson on the safety measures and basic rope climbing principles, camper will be ready for the climb. Rock climbing is a great sport to immerse yourself in, and possibly just a great way to have fun. Climbing covers a range of recreational, adventurous or sporting activities involving using one's hands and feet to move up the surface of a steep object. Evolving from the pursuit of mountaineering, rock climbing is the scaling of steep rocky surfaces, usually using ropes and other climbing equipment for protection.

In Kerala you have an option of either free climbing or aid climbing. In free climbing you will be provided ropes and gear are used strictly for safety in the case of a fall but in aid climbing, where a passage up a piece of rock is engineered by using equipment placed in the rock for upward progress.

People have been climbing mountains recreationally since the early 1700s. The use of a rope in mountain climbing started in the mid-1800s in Europe. At this time the rule was the leader (one who climbs first on the rope) - usually a professional guide - must not fall. This was a fairly straightforward rule as the ropes and techniques of the day meant that a lead fall would most likely be fatal. By the early 1900s climbers in Saxony were using ropes in a somewhat more efficient manner - threading them through occasional iron safety rings embedded in the rock - in their attempts to protect dangerous leads.
 

Rappelling

Duration:2 Hours 

Exertion Level: Medium

Minimum Group : 4

Camp Site:  Munnar

Rappelling is essentially sliding down the rope in a controlled manner. You will be provide with all the basic equipments including helmets, Knee pads, harness etc. To install a rappel for a single rope first attach the rope to the face and then pull it through till the middle. For a double rope put one of the ends through and tie the ends together by taking both ends and making an overhand knot as if both ends where one; this is the best way for tying the ends together because this knot won't get stuck so easily behind all kinds of obstacles when you pull the rope down again. Put some knots on the other ends of the rope to prevent you from falling off if you slide down too far, you can use figure-8 knots for this. Now you can take the free ends of the rope and throw them down, don't forget to warn to climbers below you by yelling something like "rope", "seil", "corde" or "touw"; hold the middle of the rope as throw it down.

Riding a bicycle / mountain bike has always been a pleasure for a person who loves adventure and sports. It requires endurance, bike handling skills and self-reliance. And, when it is done amidst the lush surrounding of nature then, it becomes more delightful. The beautiful and diverse topography of Kerala offers a wide scope for Mountain Biking.

Another advantage for biking is that is good for our ecosystem too, as it does not harm the environment. Because riders are often far from civilization, there is a strong ethic of self-reliance in the sport. Riders must learn to repair their broken bikes or flat tires to avoid being stranded miles from help. This reliance on survival skills accounts for the group dynamics of the sport.

Riding the warm thermal currents of the air on a Para glider is perhaps the closest man has ever come to sailing the skies as free as a bird. Almost at will, you dip and wheel high over the hills and valleys. Paragliding uses thermals as the driving force, and is the closest one can get, to being a bird. In perfect weather conditions you can stay aloft for over three hours and can soar to heights more than 3000 meters.

The basic techniques of Para gliding include - launching, turning and landing. Once airborne, a great deal of maneuverability can be achieved with the Para glider. The glider can be steered by pulling suspension lines, which, cause gliding motion, thus enabling the pilot fly at any course at will.
