Nusa Penida Trek At Kelingking, Bali
Kelingking
Beach resembles a beluga (whale) and is one of the most trending locations to
visit because of its serene beauty and scenic landscapes. It’s only been three
to four years that this undiscovered, solitary land grabbed a special place in Bali Honeymoon Packages, thanks to
Instagram pictures and hashtags.
But one
thing that is still seizing eyeballs is the Kelingking Trek. Not many people
know about this Bali secret, but word about its adrenaline-pumping trek has now
slipped out.
There’s a
steep cliff of 400m that has a stair-like path. One has to climb it down and
walk for what appears to be a lifetime to reach the beach. And mind you, it
isn’t easy! It will consume every bit of your energy. Scenes of people having
fainted because of scorching heat or varying BP levels is common.
Only a
person with a heart of a daredevil can take time out for this from his Bali Tour Package. Apart from the
steepness, what makes this trek difficult is the width of the path which is
barely enough for a person to walk. This one-way narrow path creates issues
when a person wants to descend while the other wants to ascend. Because the two
things can’t happen together, adjustments and comprises have to be made.
Despite all
the chaos, this trek is once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people who love
exploring nature’s unrevealed ways. The path has wooden hedges initially but
they disappear towards the end of the trek with steps that are a mile apart. It
causes palpitations in the heart and that’s exactly where the fun lies.
Not for the
faint-hearted, even I backed out of the trek after climbing down some 10 steps.
But the two tour members with whom I got my Bali Holiday Package booked,
completed the task and boy, I was jealous! There gleaming faces and
inflated chests made me want to go back in time to reverse things.
Even though the
risk factor is high, swarms and swarms of people go down the stairs to
experience the beach closely. The turquoise waters crashing with the
camel-coloured sands make a magical scene and only, I repeat; only a true
adventurer can take this step.
Is the
adventure junkie in you leaping with joy already? If yes, get your Bali Honeymoon Package booked to go
through some filmy scenes of getting bruises, only to be pampered by your
better half. If the wedding bells are too far, plan your Bali Holiday Package and escape the linear course of life to do
something unnerving!
