Jun 9th, 2012 at 8:00AM: When High Ground Adventures in Nepal decided they wanted to build a zip line, they knew they wanted it to be long, tall and fast. Their Zipflyer meets that description and then some. Riders reach speeds in excess of 85 miles per hour while dangling high above the desert floor. The two-minute ride covers nearly 6000 feet while dropping almost 2000 feet in the process.

Video of the Day: Zipline Fail
Oct 24th, 2011 at 6:30PM:
When did ziplines become so prevalent? Somewhere along the way, we went from traveling to places to either relax or explore local cultures to careening through trees on a series of cables.

Panama. It's a small nation of about 3.3 million inhabitants, with a land size roughly equal to South Carolina.

Zip line fun at The Gibbon Experience
Mar 16th, 2010 at 11:00AM: Ever had a chance to ride a zip line? It's basically a steel cable stretched between two points, allowing adventurous travelers to clip on a harness and 'zip' along at speeds of up to 100mph. We recently put together a list of 10 great zip lines from around the world here at Gadling, but there's maybe one more to add to the list. As part of my recent travels through Southeast Asia, I had a ...

Sep 23rd, 2009 at 9:00AM:
When I heard that flights from Chicago to San Jose, Costa Rica were going for just $260 per person this Fall, I immediately called my husband and asked if we could go for Labor Day weekend.

We knew that prices were so low for a reason. May to ...Five things to do in Orlando (except ... that)
