The experience of zip lines other than water activities is the best though it is small but enough to have an adventure. After this there would be mountain rappelling.
On the next day they arrange a trek to a 3000 feet hill. It looks easy to trek because of its appearance but the steepness of the Hills makes it difficult to trek. They have the directions which you can use to climb the hill. From the top you can see the lake where you went rafting and kayaking.
