Yes, Amar. As said by others, you need a good guy to support you. I've done banana ride, parasliding and water scooter in Goa. Also, I've done some trecking at Koorg(Karnataka) with my friends of about 3 KMs. Also, I crossed Kaveri river at its least depth near Koorg for about half a KM where the water is only till waist level and the under water ground is full of stones. All this possible because friends who knew me since childhood were with me throughout these things and guiding me as to what lied ahead. When I talk about Koorg forest, most dreadful experience was when we climed a small hill top and then a wild elephant came up the valley and crossed the downside way. My friends were narrating everything about its movements and directions and warned me to be ready to run when necessary! They said not to think about it and hold their hands while running. Though I became a bit tense then, it seems funny when I think back about it.
