It has been only a few years since zipline was introduced in India, but it has become one of the most popular adventures of the country. Essentially, zipline consists of a stainless-steel cable fixed on both ends, to which a person is fasted and glides from one end to another or even zigzag. It is thrilling, fun, and gives a dash of an adrenaline rush, perfect for adventure seekers. Giving an endless view of a panoramic place can be the most exhilarating experience one can have.
