1. Adventure Sports – India and Abroad
Is trekking and normal sightseeing not enough for you on your vacation? Need some excitement in
your life? Then adventure sports is the answer for you! These sports are extreme and definitely
dangerous but the exhilarating experience and the rush of adrenaline is worth it! Adventure sports is
available in every plane – in the sky, on land and under water.
Land based
 So you’ve climbed rocks before and lost the excitement of it? Then pack your bags and head
out to Half Dome, Yosemite Valley, California. Here, you can still climb mountains but
without any harnessing or safety gear. Yes, you heard it. Even one slip can prove fatal. If that
is too extreme, you can still have new experience in the world’s hardest ice climbing site at
Helmcken Falls Spray Cave, British Columbia, Canada where you can climb frozen
waterfalls and ice capped mountains. The Himalaya in Uttarakhand provide for a scenic yet a
trying landscape for climbing.

2.  A new form has skiing has arrived. Heli-skiing is almost the same as skiing but the only
difference is that you will be skiing in an untouched, natural site and you do not have to hike
because you will be dropped at the site by a helicopter. The Monashees in British Colombia
is the place to go if you’re up for this thrill as the drop is a whooping 100,00 from the
helicopter and is a vast area of snow with the fear of getting lost. Gulmarg, with its heavy
snow, is the perfect place to heli-ski in India.

3. Air based
 If you want to stand on top of a plane flying at 200mph and thousands of feet above the
ground as the plane does frightening stunts, then wing walking is made for you. Sequim,
Washington has the world’s only wing walking school so you can train with professionals
and then fulfill your childhood dream of being a superhero. Goa and Munnar, Kerala are
beautiful places to go paragliding.

4.  Flying Fox is another sport that can get your excitement levels up where you are harnessed to
a cable wire and slide down through a zipline. Kikar, Chandigarh offers a 2 hour zipline tour
and other places to go are Rishikesh and Kerala with breathtaking scenes of the city.

5. Waterbased
 Cave diving is an extreme form of scuba diving where you jump into underwater caves and
discover a whole new world. The Blue Hole in Belize is an underwater cave, which is
thousand feet in diameter and a must if you are up for this.

6.  White water rafting Deschutes River, Oregon is made for the strongest of us. With 63
rapids and huge rocks in the way, it is a dangerous sport. Goa and Andaman Islands are the
places to go in India for any water related sport.
