Himachal > Adventure Scape

parasailing Himachal has it all. Rivers, lakes, forests, alpine meadows, treacherous passes, snow-peaked high mountains, spread-out valleys – simply ideal for a wide variety of adventure sports. Be it fishing for the mahaseer, heli-skiing at sub-zero temperatures, ice-skating at a touristy hillstation, teeing off in salubrious surroundings, feeling free as a bird on a glider, or simply cherishing the joy of camping on a meadow next to a stream the outdoors person will not be found wanting in Himachal Pradesh.

There are day-hikes by the thousand, and trek routes follow trails that last a few days or extend over weeks. There are gentle walks over easy terrain and gruelling expeditions. There is skiing, heliskiing and ice-skating. There is the thrill of paragliding and the test of stamina with mountain-cycling. You can go camping and fishing and play golf or take a safari by car, jeep or on motorcycle. Then there is mountaineering and rock climbing. Just select the activity.

No special training is required for most activities, age is no consideration and all you need is a reasonable level of fitness. Equipment, training and instructors are available. And then, all this comes at a fraction of what it would cost elsewhere in the world.
