I have never ziplined before, so I didn’t know what to expect at Mayura Zipline in Cambodia. My niece (which I was traveling with) and I had two guides. One was in front and one in the back. Once they helped us with all the gear, we watched them do a tutorial for us.
At first, my nerves were calm as we watched them do a play by play of how to zipline. Then my mind began to wander to how high we will be up. Panic tried to come to the surface, but I forced the feeling away and kept watching the guys explain everything to us.
The Start of the Journey with Mayura Zipline in Cambodia
Now we began our journey through the jungle, which involved walking over stones that were spread out over a river. My heart kept pounding from the anticipation and it was getting to me. As we went to the first line, they explained a little bit of their culture and what you can eat in this forest.
After that, we finally make it to the beginning of the zipline and my nerves begin twisting into knots. The first guide helps ease my nerves and goes over the short line first. Just a heads up, I have a fear of heights! However, I like to overcome them and get out of my comfort zone.
The Ziplines are Waiting
The distance was not so far and we had around 7 more to go. I took a deep breath as the second guide helped me get prepared to frolic in the wind. They do a lot of safety checks and finally, I was airborne! I never let go of the rope that I was suspended from. It felt as though it was my life line! Just as quickly as we started, it ended. So, it wasn’t so bad. My adrenaline was thrumming a nice steady pace now from the first zipline.
Take on the Sky!
The next lines, I did with ease. My eyes tried taking in all the beauty throughout the rainforest as I quickly flew by. But the speed and adrenaline made it hard to just focus on my surroundings. I was feeling a lot calmer when we came to the long line that was over a high waterfalls. The drop from it, would be certain death! However, I gulped down my scared feelings. It was my turn and as I soared, everything was breathtaking. I forgot about my fear. I held out a hand and looked at my feet gliding over the tall waterfalls that was smashing against the stones. It felt like we had accomplished something after we were done since we now saw the jungle in a different perspective. It was an eye opener!
