I realized that my parents had not travelled much for pleasure. So, I gifted them a road trip to Kanatal, Dhanaulti and Tehri Dam. I made my dad do some adventure sports like Jet skiing and flying fox. It was the first time he did it went for adventure sports and loved it. It&#8217;s often that in a bid to satisfy our personal goals we tend to forget that we have to give back to our parents. It was heartening to see my dad doing adventure sports for the first time at the age of 60 plus. Age, as the new age Gurus say, should never be a barrier for indulging in new experiences. It was a road trip which I will remember for a long time.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11230\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11230\" style=\"width: 614px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-11230 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/img_8253.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_8253\" width=\"614\" height=\"922\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11230\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My dad attempting ziplining at Eco park, Dhanaulti<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This blog is about my road trip to Kanatal, Dhanaulti and Tehri Dam and my father&#8217;s will to try something out of his comfort zone.

I say, why not? If you are physically fit, then I see no reason to miss out on the fun. It was heartening to see my father escape his comfort zone and try something new. I vowed to expose him to more such experiences in the future. I want to take him on more road trips soon. Though, I travel rough when soloing but, I make sure that when I am travelling with parents, I provide them the best of facilities and logistics. From the best of hotels to good hygienic food, I always make sure that I plan it well. Mode of transport is the most important factor of traveling. Though road trips are a lot of fun, one must pay attention to choosing the right vehicle. Small details like music player, storage space, interiors of the car are important. Choosing the right battery is also very important especially for someone like me who travels frequently. I have had good experience with Amaron battery.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11213\" src=\"http:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/img_7865.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_7865\" width=\"922\" height=\"614\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\" style=\"text-align:justify;line-height:normal;\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\" lang=\"EN-IN\">The long-lasting and enduring Amaron batteries are a preferred choice for many. Unlike the ordinary batteries, Amaron batteries offer durability and come with zero maintenance. No wonder, it is a leader in its category. The low maintenance and resilience against the harsh chemical reaction within the battery is an added advantage. Selecting the right means goes a long way to build happy memories with your family.
