hey ronak .... infact after reading your post i called up the place ...
it might turn out to be a bit expensive than what i had in mind .... what they have is a packeage of 850 that includes morning tea, lunch, and evening tea with the adventure activites for one day one person ..... added to the cost pertol that we would have, a two person trip might be 2500/-or beyond .... i m not sure if i m ok with something that much ..... initially i was hoping to go to a place that might have an artifical rock to climb/mountain bike/etc. etc ........but not lunch at al .....
although this is the only option i have .i might just end up going there ........ in the next 2 weeks or so ....... but in the meanwhile, if you know of any cheeper place for these activites, plz let me know as well ........

if i happen go go here ...... i would definately let you know ...

thanks again

so you want adventure.. huh...

board a blueline from Anand Vihar to Dhaula Kuan, then from dhaula kuan to vikas puri, from there to Mukherji Nagar, from there to Kashmiri gate and then back to Anand vihar.

you'll get more adventure than you can handle ;-)

hey guys, thanks a lot for the wonderful suggestions.... i must admit that most of these are much more thrilling than any rock-climbing etc. can provide .......

However, since i have been exposed to this delhi bus transport adventure for many years, i just wanted to try some thing differnt .... ;-)

so guys, if you have any places in mind, please inform me about them.
