"India is a country that, once visited, won't let
you go unless you get addicted to it." - Steve Davy

lives, once they have set foot on the Indian soil. Travel Horizon India

Famous
Activities to Do
Holidays could mean a lot of fun if you are aware of the famous things-to-do options and are rightly geared up for the sport. Adventure has its own unique interpretation in India and you’ll truly be delighted to indulge in, whether a novice or a seasoned junkie.
Skiing
If
you are visiting India between January and March, skiing can be one of the
finest options to indulge yourself in high-adrenaline activities. To attend
to the needs of avid adventurers, India has come up with some of the most
advanced and reasonable ski resorts in the world. You have myriad of skiing
locales in the state of Jammu & Kashmir, the hills of Garhwal and Kumaon
and Himachal Pradesh along with the northeastern states of India. The most
popular options with tourists include skiing at Gulmarg in Jammu &
Kashmir, Auli in Garhwal, Munsiyari in Kumaon and Manal, Kufri and Narkanda
in Himachal Pradesh.
Rafting
River
rafting is a sport of choice for all those who are physically fit and
without any fear of water. Whether you are a professional or an amateur,
India welcomes rafters of all abilities. The rivers originating from the
Upper Himalayas are known to be the best to ride through. Rivers like Ganges
(Uttaranchal), Teesta (Sikkim), Brahamputra (Arunachal Pradesh & Assam),
Beas (Himachal Pradesh) and Zanskar (Ladakh) among others are some of the
most renowned rafting sites in India. So, be ready to see the rivers cut
against rocky banks, crash into rocks and split into excellent white water
rapids. Don’t ever worry about expert guides, top quality rafting
equipment and rafting gear – it’s all there.
Camping
Planning
to reconnect with nature? Camping can be an ideal option for you. You have
the option to camp in the desert, in the mountains, by lakes and streams, in
a forested valley or a meadow. The Himalayan regions including Lahaul,
Kinnaur and Spiti in Himachal Pradesh, Chitrauli, Chilla, Corbett and
Nainital in Uttaranchal, the mountainous regions of Nepal, backwaters of
Kerala and the Thar Desert in Rajasthan are great camping sites. From family
weekend packages and wildlife camping to summer and winter camping options,
you have a wide range to choose from, plus you can also indulge in
activities like angling, hiking, cycling, kayaking etc.
Jungle Safari
India
boasts 86 national parks and 481 wildlife sanctuaries. From some of the most
endangered animal species to the rarest of them, an Indian wildlife safari
promises a lot. Wildlife lovers from all over the world arrive here to watch
species like Royal Bengal Tiger (Sunderbans, Bandipur, Ranthambore &
Corbett), Siberian Crane (Sariska & Bharatpur), Asiatic Lion (Gir),
Indian one-horned Rhino (Kaziranga & Manas) and the Indian Elephant
(Periyar, Dudhwa & Mudumalai). The Black Buck (Kanha, Ranthambore &
Corbett) and the endemic Nilgiri Tahr (Niligiri Hills & Southern Western
Ghats) also invite a good number of visitors.
Trekking
Trekking
happens to be a nice option for those planning adventure holidays in India.
A trekking expedition brings you closer to nature, its wonders and to those
lonesome folks who call the hilly terrain home. Adventurers can choose from
low (below 3,000 m) and moderate (below 4,500 m) to strenuous (up to 5,500
m) trails. Trekkers can head to places like Garhwal and Kumaon, Chamba,
Ladakh, Zanskar, Lahaul-Spiti, Kullu, Kangra, Sikkim and Darjeeling. You can
enjoy trekking in the Himalayan ranges between March and May and from
September to November. People below the age of 16 and above 60 years are
discouraged from taking part in the activity.
Angling/Fishing
Hardly
do the visitors to India have any idea that India is also an angler’s
paradise. The eco-friendly sport can be enjoyed in the coastal areas, the
foothills of the Himalayas and the southern region of Nepal. The delight of
trout fishing and the excitement of catching a large mahaseer or even a
larger goonch can be as much as to last you a lifetime. The Tirthan Valley
of Himachal Pradesh, the Brahamputra River in Assam, Pasighat in Arunachal
Pradesh and Ramganga and Kosi Rivers in Uttaranchal are some of the best
known angling sites in the country. It is ideal to plan your angling tours
between September and March.
