              Dalund Huli Khilan or Jhulan means that the tree swinging. Usually, children in rural Uttarakhand swing on tree branch without aid of rope and rope-swing seat. Many times, just the ropes are used for tree swinging. Many times, the strong vine/tendril of Bakrya or Malu tree or rarely aerial roots of banyan tree are used for swinging. Tree Swinging seat is sued in plains more than hills.
