Adventure Travel in India
The best way to express oneself is to retreat to some Adventure Escapades. It's a new wave of adventure that promises to rejuvenate you and provide a platform to explore your adventurous side.
In recent times, the Indian tourism industry has shown a tremendous growth of interest in adventure pursuits. Traveling to new and exciting places with an intention to seek, or the expectation to find, adventure is Adventure Travel. Rafting, Trekking, Safaris, etc. are incorporated into it. It requires skill, resistance, patience and involves a degree of risk taking.
Adventure Escapade can be as simple as hitchhiking across a countryside you have never visited before. There is an element of uncertainty, in that you are not following a fixed schedule and are free to speed up, slow, or halt your travel, and often take spur-of-the-moment side trips. A planned and guided group tour probably cannot really be considered adventure travel in the true sense of the term.
The distinctive feature about the Himalayan tourism is that traveler has the option of enjoying myriad adventure activities. If you travel to Kashmir you can indulge in trekking, travel on horseback, go trout fishing in its rivers or enjoy in a little bit of skiing or water sports in its transparent lakes. Of late, skiing has put India on a pedestal in Asia. As a matter of fact, skiing in India is less expensive compared to anywhere in the world. The facilities are meant for beginners as well as for seasoned skiers. The three states that boast of providing these facilities are Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh. Heli-skiing has established as another prime attraction for travelers. The facility for Heli-skiing can be availed of at Manali in Himachal Pradesh. Water-rafting, kayaking and canoeing on the Ganga are becoming popular day by day.
Sailing, another adventure sport, is rapidly catching tourist's imagination and gaining popularity in Nainital, Ramgarh and Khadakvasla in Maharshtra. Introduction of water-rafting in the Teesta River in northeastern India is beginning to attract the tourists on a large scale.
Adventure Sports in India
The stereotype image of India such as a land of snake charmers and trumpeting elephants is now a thing of past. Far from being mostly a historical and cultural tourist destination for a long time, India has now emerged as an important travel destination for discerning adventure sports enthusiasts in recent years.
India is arguably the only country in the world, which offers such a sheer variety of adventure opportunities. And surely enough, this diversity is utterly amazing - from heli-skiing and rock climbing in the mighty Himalayas to river-rafting in the white waters of the raging Ganga, Teesta or Indus; from ballooning and hang-gliding over the great Indian plains to an exotic encounter with the camel-safaris in the vast expanse of the Thar desert of Rajasthan; from tracking the legendary Royal Bengal Tiger on the backs of elephants to trekking in the Himalayan ranges - the options are endless.
