"Rappalling"

On our Saturday off, the immersion group were up at 7am and off to a trek somewhere. I say somewhere because I didn't take note of the place and there isn't anyone around to ask today :) It was about 2 hours out of Bangalore near some bush and lots of giant monolithic rocks. The area was gorgeous. There was a 7km hike to a lake and then back.

Everyone kept asking if I was ok to try "rappalling" and I said "sure", not knowing but thinking it was another Indian experience I was yet to try. The best advice I can give anyone is that if you don't know what you're being offered, then ASK! You'll see me "rappalling" further down in the pics...

One of the temples we visited where we were blessed and gave a donation

Sumeet is telling us about how we are like a story with five husbands + one wife and I'm about to push him off the cliff

I found out that "rappalling" is repelling about five mins before this pic was taken

Further down and surprisingly enough, I'm not screaming

I survived!
