Floating in the air like a free bird. Exploring sky at thousands of feet above. Then diving down on earth. Witnessing the most amazing vista which began with a glacial peak blending in lush hilly terrain. Then emerged a blurred panorama of bustling cities. All was happening within seconds. In heart stopping extreme thrill. This was me in new avatar of skydiving.
Skydiving was one of the must to do adventures in my wish list. A very expensive adventure to indulge in. And available at select places only as requires many safety norms to abide by. I had planned to do skydiving in USA or in some European country as I had been traveling frequently to those countries. But in the meantime I found out that there are few skydiving institutes in my home country India who maintain high standards of safety. So I decided to do skydiving in India itself. I wanted to make my skydiving event the perfect thrilling end to year 2017. And I did so. Jubilant on fulfilling my one more wish.
In India there are few operational centers for skydiving training and jumps. I dug in extensive research before finalizing the center in North India. I got my medical clearance certificate to check fitness level as was mandatory for skydiving. While planning my tandem jump in late December the only concern was the foggy weather as in bad weather conditions skydiving is canceled. And I beamed when saw the perfect sunlight welcoming me on jump day. I was given theoretical and practical training for few hours. Each step was rehearsed well on ground and further in aircraft. And then the moments of real excitement took place along with my instructor.
Skydiving is the way of diving onto earth using parachute with the aid of gravity. Traditionally this mode of transiting to earth has been used for emergency purposes which include rescue and military operations. But gradually skydiving developed as an adventure or I must say extreme adventure activity due to the risk involved. To ensure fitness medical certificate is required by most of the skydiving institutes.
My Exhilarating moments of skydiving captured in this short video.

Oh lord, you are so brave! I am to scared to even think about it. That’s lovely you decided to skydive back in your home country India. Ach, I wanna be able to do it one day, yet at the moment, I am already shaking by thinking about it.

WOW! Skydiving is also on my bucket list. I’ve always wanted to do it in a interesting place, but wondered if you can even take in the sights while you are falling from the sky ahah.
You go girl! I don’t know if I have the courage to do something like that, but I’m sure it was such a thrill!!! Where you ever scared that the parachute wouldn’t open!?!? That’s what would go through my mind lol.
