ADVENTURE TOURS IN INDIA

The Mightiest of all the mighty mountain ranges in the world, the Himalayas find its abode in the north of India.

From its snow-laden glaciers erupt the great Indian rivers like Ganga, Yamuna, and Brahmaputra, which have given birth to some of the oldest civilizations in the world.

No trip to India is complete without treks to its Himalayan peaks: Nanda Devi, Kamet, Hanuman Tibba, Dunagiri, Rathong and Kanchenjunga— the third-highest peak in the world.

Your best bet to spot the Royale Bengal Tigers in its natural habitat anywhere in the world, the Ranthambore National Park Jeep Safari experience offers you a close encounter with not just the magnificent tigers but also with such exotic animals as the sloth bears, leopards, caracal, jackals, hyenas, foxes and mongoose and hundreds of species of birds.

On a lucky day, you might just witness a tiger on a hunting prowl as well.

The Princely colors-filled State of Rajasthan with its never-ending array of colors and shades that form an aesthetic ambiance unlike anywhere else in the world.

The state derives its mystique from its vast deserts and there is no better way to explore the Rajasthani desert than through the “Ship of the Desert.”

A camel safari in the Golden City, Jaisalmer, in the heart of the Thar desert upon its rolling sand dunes, amidst tiny rustic villages, is an absolute must.

Scuba diving in the coral reefs of the Andaman Islands is a voyage into a breathtaking unexplored world underwater.

Blessed with soothing calm beaches and awe-inspiring marine life, coral reefs & gardens and sandy bottoms hidden under the water’s surface, the Islands have become a Mecca for scuba-diving enthusiasts from all over the world.

The Gulmarg Ski resort in Baramulla, Kashmir, can give any European ski resort a run for its money.

It is a world-class resort that offers top-of-the-line first aid and rescue services, avalanche mitigation and forecasting and snow grooming. All of these measures combine to make your skiing experience not just exciting but also safe.

Unwind, relax and cleanse your soul from the materialness of urban life. Pitch a tent. Reconnect with Mother Nature.

Get away from the touristy hill station and take the road-less-traveled off-road jeep safari options on the Spiti Valley or Ladakh jeep safari circuits.

It checks so many boxes: stunning Himalayan landscape, pristine valleys, azure lakes, National Parks and ascetic remote monasteries tucked away from the decadent world.

Get a 360 aerial view of the Pink City of Jaipur in a hot air balloon.

A popular stopover on the adventure and cultural travel circuit, the capital of Rajasthan is home to palatial palaces, magnificent forts, temples and lakes. Witnessing it all from the sky is a visual and sensory delight.

Nothing quite screams “adventure” like a jump from an elevation of 3500 meters above sea level in the Paragliding Capital of India.

Once you have conquered that fear, what awaits you is not just the exciting thrill of flying high in the sky but also the panoramic views of the stunning Himalayan ranges.

There is more to Goa than hip beaches and exhilarating parties. Spend an adrenaline-fueled day by going bungee jumping in Goa which is fast-emerging as a hub for high-end adventure travel.

Take a rip-roaring white water rafting expedition in Rishikesh, where the ferocious Ganga River tosses up thrilling grade III & IV levels of rapids as the river snakes through the mountains.

Soak in the picturesque landscape that dots the sides of the river.

The enchanting Nilgiris (Blue Mountains) of the Western Ghats of India is home to the UNESCO-protected Nilgiri Biosphere Reservice, a place teeming with exotic wildlife, amazing bird species, dense forests and multiple water bodies.

Get on a bicycle. Traverse the Western Ghat States of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Gao, Karnataka and Maharashtra.
