A typical holiday includes sight-seeing, a truck load of shopping and experimenting with food. But how about a adrenaline rush, instead of the regular tourist outing, this summer?
An adventure holiday, not only helps your body back on the fitness track, it also offers a fun, thrilling, experience. So here are top five destinations in India that promise to take your breath away!
Lustrous Ladakh
Nestled between the Himalaya and the Karakoram ranges, Ladakh offers a spectacular display of snow-clad peaks and translucent lakes. It is a preferred location for trekking because of its barren terrain. There are a great number of treks available at varying levels of difficulty. They may last anywhere between a week and a month. Apart from the exciting treks, one can also experience the rich culture and wildlife. Beautifully built monasteries are hard to miss in this predominantly Buddhist region.
High on Himachal
Himachal Pradesh is best discovered on a wonderful mountain biking trip. Often embarked upon in groups, this trip can last around a couple of weeks. The places that are usually covered in this trip are Shimla, Thanedar, Sarahan, Sangla valley, Pooh, Tabo, Kaza, Gramphoo and Manali. One can see the culture, history and beauty of Himachal Pradesh, every inch of the way. The Himachals truly offer a wholesome holiday.
Breathtaking Bhagirathi
A tributary to the river Ganga, Bhagirathi is one of the most challenging white water rafting spots. Running in the Garhwal Himalayas between Uttarkashi and Deoprayag, the frothy mountain river is both divinely scenic and dangerously thrilling. It takes about a week to raft down the Bhagirathi. With proper safety ensured, one can have a successful and memorable adventure here. It has proven to be a popular adventure destination for Indians and foreigners alike.
Wandering in the Western Ghats
For a non-professional rock climber, the Western Ghats offer quite a few spots ideal for climbing. The terrain is easier to handle compared to the rest of India and the weather is always just right. Along the entire western coast, we have the Chamundi hills in Karnataka, Mumbra, Dudha and Manori rocks in Maharashtra, Pavagadh in Gujrat and if you’re looking for gentler rocks, we have Mount Abu and Sariska in Rajasthan.
Underwater Andaman
Much of Andaman’s beauty lies in its underwater corals and marine life. Snorkeling off the Andaman coast is an experience of a lifetime. The ideal snorkeling regions are in the islands near Port Blair and Havelock Island. One can reach these islands either by ferry or by a private boat, and from there, reach a place that is beautiful beyond imagination. It is absolutely criminal to miss the colours in the clear sea.
