They offered the below adventures. 1.A Bow & Arrow 2.A Dart Board 3.Frisbee(Flying Disc) 4.Kayaking 5.Badminton 6.Cycling 7.Tug of War 8.Cricket They Organized the Tug of war for us. 3 Kayaking boats were available and we utilized in rotation. We were offered lunch and should be a special mention that it was great. The Manager Suresh and Team were great. Special mention to the Kayaking person who have to take extra effort in bringing back 2 persons who were not paddling properly. Couple of improvement areas. If possible, 1.They should allocate separate area for badminton court and cricket with proper nets 2. Can introduce new games possibly like Paintball. Regardless of the above this place is worth for a day out for a gang.…
