Ever since the pandemic, people have been forcibly shut away in the four walls of their homes, with no way to leave the boundaries of their houses. Now that the dread of the Covid-19 pandemic has subsided a little, people have started to try and turn their lives in the way they were fashioned earlier.
As I was going to an escape room near me last night, I realized that the place was looking a lot different than it used to, even a year ago. The empty corridors behind the frosted glass entrance were now beaming with customers!
And that is when it hit me. People are not only trying to get back to their normal lives, but they are now going beyond it. “I’m going to start doing things I have always wanted to do because the pandemic showed me how fickle everything is”- I’m sure many of us have felt this at some point this year. And you know what that means? The season for bucket lists is back! Check out some of these must-try items that all of us should have on our post-pandemic to-do list:
1. Chadar Trek in Ladakh
You cannot possibly imagine a bucket list for thrilling adventures in India without the name of Ladakh in it! For budding thrill-seekers, there can be nothing dreamier than trekking in Ladakh. Visit the place and walk on the frozen river as you encounter the various challenges that lie ahead of you.
The Chadar Trek, which only takes place during the winter months (January and February), can be a great option. Down in the Zanskar River, as the temperature drops treacherously, are you ready to face the freezing conditions? The blissful beauty of the snow-laden capes is sure to make up for the cold temperatures!
2. Experience at least one premium escape game at Breakout Escape Room
Escape games have nowadays become a very popular indulgence with thrill-seekers across the world. Having you and your team locked in a room with no escape and left to find your way out in time is one of the most thrilling experiences! The Breakout Escape Room in Bangalore is one of the best escape room venues to check out in India.
With so many kinds of unique and authentic themes, hand-curated set designs, and props, there is so much to make the escapades both thrilling and exciting. The best part about the games is how all your teammates need to work together to solve the clues while the clock is ticking!
