About
Adventure India
Offers a wide range of adventure sports for tourists. Trekking and Skiing in the
Himalayas, White Water Rafting on the Ganges and Beas, Camel and Jeep safaris
in the deserts of Rajasthan, Paragliding in Himachal, Watersports in Goa and Scuba
Diving in Lakshadweep and Andaman are just some of the options available to the
adventure seeking tourists. The perennial challenge of the Himalayas for mountaineers.
Coniferous forests and flower meadows welcome the trekker. And the rapids of snow-fed
rivers are ideal for white water rafting. Lakshadweep offers excellent wind surfing,
snorkelling and scuba diving in the crystal clear waters of the lagoons which
surround each island.
Mountaineering
in India The
spectacular variety of India extends to the range of sporting activities available.
From the ski slopes of Kashmir to the water sports centres of the large beach
resorts, whatever the season, you will find a sport to suit your taste. Try driving
off from the fist tee of one of the countrys beautiful golf courses, or
casting for trout or salmon in the clear mountain rivers of the north. Or perhaps
watch a skillful game of hockey, venture a few Rupees while mixing with the fashionable
race-goers at any of Indias elegant racecouses; or combine elements of both
by enjoying the spectacle of a game of polo. Hotels and Tourist Offices will be
able to supply details of all these and other available attractions.
Trekking
in India Trekking has come a long way since the days
of tedious journeys on foot or grueling hours of travel by ox-cart. Today, trekking
conjures up visions of the spectacular northern and eastern Himalayas, the mist-strewn
western Ghats or the blue tranquillity of the Nilgiri Hills. India is the ultimate
destination for a trekking holiday, offering everything from short and easy excursions
to the long challenges of the snowy peaks. Trekking is comparatively undemanding,
requiring only stamina to walk long hours and the mental agility to adapt to an
ever-changing landscape. And the landscape is indeed spectacular.
Camping
in India
Camping is perhaps the best way of enjoying the
wonders of nature given to Himachal and sharing the warmth of its people. You
can carry your own gear along or opt for any one of the several camps that are
pitched in various parts of the State.
River
Rafting in India
A fairly young sport in India. The snow-fed
mountain rivers that run down from the mighty Himalayas make northern India one
of the best regions in the world for this sport. Amateurs and first-timers have
their choice of quieter waters, but with the promise of a passage through some
truly spectacular riverside landscapes. Some rapids hit Colorado 8 (the highest
is 10) on the scale, but most are on the 4 to 6 grade. The main regions are Ladakh,
Garhwal and the four rivers of Himachal Pradesh.
Skiing
in India
Fast becoming a popular sport. Facilities are offered
by some resorts in the north of the country. The two major ones are Gulmarg in
Kashmir and Kufri in Himachel Pradesh, set in some of the most beautiful mountain
landscape in the world.
Rock
Climbing India
Delhi is the centre for most rock climbing
activity in India, the prime area being Tughlaqabad. Slightly further afield,
excellent climbing may be had in the Aravalli Hills (particularly Dumdama, Dhauj
and Nuh). Beyond Pune on the Western Ghats the gentle hills from picturesque rock
formations and many places are ideal for climbing. Further north, the Manali valley
and Rohtang Pass regions of Himachal Pradesh are popular, as are the Chamundi
Hills in Karnataka and the Garhwal Himalayas in Uttar Pradesh. More gentle climbs
can be had in the area of Mount Abu and Sariska (Rajasthan). Excepting the monsoon
periods, rock climbing is virtually a year-round activity, and most equipment
can be hired locally.
Camel
Safaris India
An ideal trip for those with time to spare
and with the desire to experience the subtle sunset shades of the desert and the
solitary magic of the rolling golden sands. Camel safaris are available in the
Thar desert, and range from one to fifteen days duration. The best safaris are
in the heart of the Thar, in the Jodhpur, Jaisalmer and Bikaner region, and will
pass tiny villages and remote trading posts. Another popular area is the Shekhawati
region. The safari organisers attempt to recreate the atmosphere of the old caravan
journeys; music, traditional food and campfire hospitality are all part of this
unique experience. Staff are available for assistance, and all necessary equipment
is provided.
Hang
Gliding in India
Another sport which is rapidly growing in
popularity, and one which provides an exciting way of seeing the landscape of
India. There are clubs in Pune, New Delhi, Bombay, Chandigarh, Shimla, Devlali
and Bangalore. Many hang-gliding sites in India (particularly in the Himalaya
region) have been highly rated by experts, and the climate of the country gives
particularly good thermal soaring effects in the summer months; the monsoons are
the only bad period for this sport.
Motorbike
Safari India
Motorbike safari in india is another exciting
adventure to experience !!! You can hire a motorbike from any Tour Operators &
Travel Agents & explore the various faces of India.
Water
Sports in India A fairly young sport in India. The snow-fed
mountain rivers that run down from the mighty Himalayas make northern India one
