Metcalfe's canopy

I already knew that Charles Metcalfe built some pretty obscure things around his Mehrauli property to "improve" the view.

But here's some more folly building he did.  A canopy he could view on a far-off hilltop.  As if the Qutub Minar wasn't scenic enough...

That man had too much money.

Ziplining through jungle

After years of wanting to try this ziplining adventure, I finally took the opportunity to go on the Flight of the Gibbon.

Over 3km of zipline through the jungle.
Yes.

And there really were gibbons to see, too.

For most of the time, you can't see just how high up in the canopy of the jungle you are.  But then the view opens up and you see the beautiful, tall trees and the river far below.

Swinging through the trees with the gibbons (and guides)--great fun.
