When our daily routine starts becoming boring and uninspiring, we need to quickly find a way to refresh our minds. For some, it might be a relaxing stroll around the park. But for others, an exciting, adrenaline-pumping, adventure sport is the answer. Skydiving has become one of the most popular methods, and you can find a lot of great spots in Indonesia.
Skydiving is an activity where people would jump off an airplane or other high places. They would use a parachute to slow their descent to the ground. The activity can be done recreationally or competitively. Either way, it’s well-loved for the adrenaline rush it gives.
Indonesia is one of the best countries to skydive in. With many marvelous scenic landscapes and clear blue skies, you can also admire its beautiful nature on your descent.
