The highway. The Mumbai-Pune highway is one I've traversed plenty of times, never able to appreciate it, except when driving through the Western Ghats or passing through the many tunnels. Somehow, it's never had the same charm or thrill that the previous highway had, with its many dangerous twists and turns. Travelling as a kid by bus, my favourite pastime would be to count the number of overturned trucks, buses and cars by the side. But all it takes is a different perspective to appreciate what seems mundane and routine. A few years ago, a paragliding friend of mine asked if I'd like to join him for a weekend getaway to Kamshet. It's where paragliding enthusiasts from across the country and abroad meet up and fly for their dose of adrenaline rush. It didn't take me long to warm up to the idea, as I desperately needed a break. On the second afternoon, I happily decided to piggyback with my friend. While he was doing all the hard work, I took those moments to marvel at the views all around and down below. One of the sights that greeted me was the highway down below. After carefully shuffling around, I managed to grab my mobile and happily click as many photographs as possible. It isn't every day that I get to see a sight like this. Trust you all are well, people. Be safe. 🙏🏼 ________________________________________ @nofixedaddrs #nofixedaddrs www.nofixedaddress.in _________________________________________ Incredible India 🇮🇳 #IncredibleIndia #MaharashtraUnlimited @mtdc_official #MTDC _________________________________________ ………. ……... …….. ……. …… ….. …. … .. . #paraglidingkamshet #paragliding #paraglidinglife #parapente #paraglider #gopro #adventure #paraglidinglove #flying #paraglidingworld #extremesports #indiatravel #indiatravelgram #indiaclicks #indiapictures #indiatraveldiaries #indiatraveller #indiatravelling #storiesofindia #indiatravelblogger #indiatravelsquad #indiatravellers #indiatravellgram #indianshutterbugs #indiatraveljournal #travelersofindia (at Khamshet, Maharashtra, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDf-S-pMYTW/?igshid=12hzw9pwpwvi7

Reaching for the skies

A paragliding friend of mine asked if I'd like to join him for a weekend getaway out of the city late last year.

I desperately needed a break. So it didn't take me long to agree, even though I wasn't sure what I'd be doing there. He would be busy flying himself, along with his mates. Frankly, I wasn't expecting much from the weekend, except a chance to get out.

Turns out there's more to see and experience if you go off the beaten path. Kamshet, on the Mumbai- Pune highway, brings paragliding enthusiasts from across the country and abroad for their dose of adrenaline rush.

After checking into our rooms, we headed off to Tower Hill, one of the vantage points to take off from. While my friend and some of his buddies were getting their gliders ready, I took the opportunity to go check out the other fliers, some of whom were already flying, while a few more were getting their gliders ready.

In all that initial rush to see as much, I managed to catch this flier gracefully take off and head higher and higher. It's only over barbecue that evening that I was introduced to Clint John, one of many paragliders that keep coming back to fly at Kamshet.

Of course, it made for a fabulous photo-op. Even if I wasn't flying. Unless piggybacking with my friend counts.
