Zorbing
This sport is what dreams are made of. Imagine yourself in a bubble rolling down a slope. You might have imagined or dreamt about this!
But did you know that you can do this in real life? Zorbing is an activity where you get into a large, plastic ball known as an orb and just roll down a hill. It is also referred to as globe-riding, hill-rolling or sphering.
Water Zorbing is a version of this sport which can be found in several theme parks. It consists of floating in a huge, inflated ball in the water – making it a unique water and ball sport!
The first ever zorbing place was created in New Zealand in 1994. Soon it became a popular, recreational activity in different parts of the world. I don’t know about you but this activity is on the top of my bucket list!
Zipline
This is one of the most exhilarating, outdoor activities that you can do on a vacation in the mountains or at an adventure park.
Ziplining is riding on a suspended cable, which takes an individual from one point to another. With the support of pulley system, the cable has a protective belt worn by the person.
It is also considered as a means of transportation to remote areas that are hard to discover by road, typically in the nature. I tried ziplining at an adventure park and it was a thrilling experience! At first, I was afraid after seeing the height from the top but as soon as I let go, I enjoyed all the way!
