Up
North, the Himalayan ranges that stretch across the country are the most intimidating and enthralling beautiful mountains in the world. They offer the ultimate challenge to any adventurer, whatever be their pursuit - mountaineering, rock climbing, trekking or white-water rafting.
If you like water sports, the Himalayas offer you some of the best river runs in the world. The foaming rapids on the Ganges in Rishikesh, Uttaranchal, the Beas in Himachal Pradesh and Teesta in Sikkim are among the toughest and most exciting you can find anywhere.
Further south you can enjoy the water adventures along both the west and the east coasts of India. The islands of Andaman and Nicobar in the Bay of Bengal and Lakshadweep in the Indian Ocean are virtually untouched and are some of the best spots for scuba diving and snorkelling. The beaches of Goa and Kerala also offer other sporting opportunities like water skiing, wind surfing and sailing. The West coast in Mumbai and the lakes around Pune are other popular destinations for sailing.
Also unique are India's jungle and desert safaris. In fact, one of the most magical ways to explore the sands of Rajasthan, especially the unending sand dunes of Jaisalmer and Bikaner, is on camel back. Many heritage resorts run by the erstwhile royalty also give you the option of enjoying the countryside on horseback, by far the best way to explore the countryside, see its remote forts and palaces, and interact with its people, or perhaps play polo in Rajasthan and Delhi.
Similarly, exploring India's many wildlife parks and sanctuaries on elephant back is a unique experience. Most tiger and rhino sanctuaries offer this option and it's a better way of viewing wildlife than using a noisy jeep safari.
India has something for everyone looking for adventure, however thrilling or risky it may be. The snow-clad peaks, crystal glaciers, rolling meadows, beautiful valleys, meandering rivers, gushing waterfalls, thick forests, swampy deltas and magical moonscapes beckon one and all for an adventure holiday in India.
Aero sports facilities such as ballooning, paragliding, handgliding, etc. are available for both amateurs and professionals across the country.
Whether you like living life on the edge, or you just want to enjoy the occasional thrill of the unknown, head on to India.
