Adventure Weekend

In May everyone in the neighborhood group discussed to go out together and decided to plan something in July.

Last year I came across this amazing place called Asuable Chasm and decided to visit this year. It was perfect to visit with group so started planning.

Found an amazing camp ground near chasm which was on Lake Champlain. It was hard to get a spot but we got one by one by constant check.

All the booking was done including rock climbing at chasm. After discussing with group only few were ready for rock climbing so I gave an option of classic tour or premium tour. Premium tour had adventure trail so 12 of us decided to do that and rest went for classic tour which has river trail and raft ride.

We were watching for weather closely since it was showing rain. The morning of travel it was just cloudy so we started in the afternoon. Priti and Sau also decided to join this trip.

We reached there around 7 and the party started.we set up tents and ate all the yummy food everyone got! Kids did s’mores and we all went to sleep. Before that we had hard time finding pots cleaning station and it was fun to wash everything on high placed tap.

We woke up early and ate heavy breakfast to head for our chasm tour. We reached 10 mins before the ticket booth opens to avoid the crowd.  I divided people in 2 groups. 

In premium me, Shri and Murtaza were only 3 adults and rest kids. Group was nervous and excited. It took a while to start the trail since guide is assigned to a group. The time we spent along Asuable river was also beautiful! We took some pictures.

First we had to go through a rope climb and then second one was crossing river on single rope. After going on other side of river it was climbing on the side of river on rocks and then again cross a rope bridge. It was a zig zag ride. It was totally worth it! Very scary but amazing!

Raft ride was very short as compared to wait time of 90mins but it was beautiful through chasm.

We came back to camp site and went to beach. Made Maggie for kids and ate on the beach!

In the night got beer from local brewery and had Biryani with it! Ended day around fire!!

Morning woke up and went to take bath where saw beautiful morning sun and the serene lake with mountains, it was beyond words to describe environment! So blissful !!

Came back to camp and made upma for everyone and enjoyed it along fire!!

It was time to say bye to camping and enjoy the lake Champlain beach before saying final bye.

When we were on beach Murtaza was talking to a guy who was trying hard to learn paddle board and he offered him to try too.

Because of Murtaza we all got to do paddle board ride and ended the trip fun way. Jai, Simar and Sanju enjoyed the most by going in deep inside lake and then jumping in water and trying all sorts of tricks!

After that we ate lunch at this pizza place where food was very fresh. It was along Asuable river where we said final bye to each other and headed home. 

The whole road was very beautiful with green mountains, some rain and fog.

It was a memorable trip!

Here are all the pictures!!
