subject: Adventurous Sports In India [print this page] Adventure sports are by far the most thrilling and adrenaline filled activities one can think of doing. And today adventure sports have become quite sought after as people look at it as a diversion from their monotonous work life. The pursuit for performing such adrenaline fuelled activities has increased drastically over the last few years. As this is not a sport for the faint hearted, a lot of people have put aside their fears and are getting their taste of an adrenaline rush. There are so many new adventure sports coming up, it is difficult to keep track of it.
India for an adventure lover is one of the best places in the world. Considering the diversity of our subcontinent, you can find an adventure sport which would perfectly suit you and give you that adrenaline rush you are looking for. Right from the various winter sports you can do in the icy hills during the winter, summer sports under the blazing sun and water sports in the midst of the waves and shimmering beautiful seawaters. India offers you all sorts of adventure sports, rock climbers can find an uphill task in climbing the steep mountains in Malani, water lovers can find heaven under water in places like Goa which boast of a rich sea life. For the snow loving people, there are a load of activities during the winter season. You could take up the challenge of trekking up the snow covered mountains in Shimla, or if you want to try your hand at skiing there is a span of time every year when you can ski at the Rotang Pass. For people who wish to have the experience of a lifetime can look at white river rafting across the Ganga in Rishikesh. The feeling of being on that raft holding on for your life while you hit the most fierce and adrenaline pumping waves and torrents in the world, is one which nothing else compares to. Also if you wish to be air borne you could go to the Solang valley and the Deora Ghat for a dose of paragliding.
There is not anywhere else you could get all these different forms of adventure sports done within the same geographic landscape. That is the beauty of India. However there is just one major pointer you should keep in mind before setting of on an adventure seeking trip. Your luggage gear or travel gear must be very well planned. You cannot afford to forget even the smallest thing you may require when you are out in the wild. None of us would want to be in a situation where you are halfway through climbing a mountain or paragliding of a hill and you remember something very important that you left all the way back home. This horrid situation could be easily avoided by just planning out and remembering ever possible thing you would need on your excursion away from home.
