    Might seem expensive or dangerous on the first go but it is neither. It is a really fun and thrilling experience that is safe and something extraordinary. Crossing the mighty Ganges on ropes is a great experience in itself. I hope more such activities come up in future that help us enjoy nature without disturbing it.
