Excited and slightly nervous.
Abseiling down Laxapana Falls was easily one of the most exciting things we did in Sri Lanka. The experience started with a scenic walk through the forest, which was beautiful and gave us time to get excited and slightly nervous about what was coming. Once we reached the top, the instructors explained everything clearly and helped us get comfortable with the harness and equipment before the descent.
