Tausif I can very well relate to your experience. All my life have fought for such things for my parents, as we were often denied having such experiences, as they happen to have disabilities.
Finding no solution to this and having repeated not so good travel experiences forced me to start Planet Abled few years back. Ignorance and lack of awareness of people shouldn't come in our way of our travelling. Since the start we have now done, rafting skiing, trekking, boating and what not. We even take people with spinal injuries on our rafting and boating expeditions. Next time when you or any one else from our community wants to travel, I would be more than happy to assist and break those barriers with you. You can reach me at +9910042281. Cheers. Have a good day.
