There can be no better quest then one that involves self-discovery.
For adventure,tranquliity and action, all rolled in one, adventure
sport is India's new mantra. From being focussedas a cultural tourist
destination for several decades, India has emerged as an adventure
destination for discerning international travellers. perhaps no other
sigle country in world offers the variety of adventure opportunities
which this South Asian nation does. Its diversity is fasinating. The
choices are endless. From the inhospitable peaks soaring in rocky
crage and forbidding ice fields of heights o over 6000 metres, the
harsh desert land that offers inumerable thrills and safaris, to the
cool soothing azure waters of Indian'exotic islands, adrenalin-rush
has a new meaning. Sir edmund Hillary, the First vman to set foot
on Mount Everest along with mountaineer.
Tenzing Norgay was once quoted as saying, Adventure tourism is growing
rapidly in India as access to roemote areas is improving all the time.
It is not noly the scenic beauty that appeals to the adventurous mind
but also the people themselves, the enormous variety of cultures and
religions, warm hospitslity and the skill with which life in a harsh
environment is tackled. India has several advantages in developing
adventure tourism as it has no seasonality factor. While high - altitude
adventure is possible during summer, during winter, low-altitute itinearies
including skiing can be offered to adventure enthusiasts. An added
attraction is that a Visitor can inddulage in several adventure activities
during his holiday. for instance, visitors to north India could enjoy
trekking, travel on horseback, go trout fishing in its many rivers
or indulge in skiing or water sports.
