Kyonki......'ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA'.

I have always loved the word adventure..,,from reading about it in Newspapers and magazines to hearing it from others to experiencing it myself. There's some risk,some fear and some hesitation but the sheer joy of having experienced it is beyond words.For some activities like Bungee Jumping and Sky Diving, its always advisable to try them abroad.Until the trip is planned,how about indulging in some adventures back home. I  read an interesting article last week on the adventure sports available in India. Although the list is short,i was happy to have tried some of them.Here are some 'To-do's' for all you adventurers.

1. SKIING IN GULMARG

  

• Gulmarg ,considered to be Asia's best destination for skiing.
• Boasts of world's highest ski lift at 3979 mts.

         I tried my hands at skiing almost 5 years back. The experience still lingers fresh in my mind.

 2. PARAGLIDING AT KARLA,MAHARASHTRA

•   Having stayed close to this place for 2 years, i came to know about this only a month back.
•   The real enjoyment is when you are experienced enough to fly solo.
•   This place does offer tandem joyrides with the instructor costing about Rs 2000.

  

                                       

3. PARASAILING IN  GOA

• Parasailing is an activity in which a person is attached to a boat and glides through the air behind it. It is sometimes referred to as parascending as well.
• Goa has a host of water sports and although you are in air for a very short time,trying this would still be recommended.

5. SNORKELING IN ANDAMAN

• Snorkeling is where you wear the little mask with a hose that sticks out of the water so you can breathe.
• The Andaman Islands are surrounded by rich, unspoiled coral reefs with fascination underwater marine life, and snorkeling is an easy way to see them.

                                                  

                                              

6.YAK SKIING IN MANALI

• Recommended by TIME magazine,this is a dangerous yet crazy sport.
• A rope connects the skier waiting downhill to the yak waiting uphill through a pulley.The skier shakes a bucket of nuts at full speed and must put it down immediately,as the Yak charges towards the nuts at full speed,pulling the skier uphill amidst shouts of joy from both the yak and the skier.
• An experience would make certainly make the above understanding clear.

                                       

7. WHITE WATER RAFTING AT DEVPRAYAG

• The river Ganges offers the best rafting routes in the country.
• The initial stage from Devprayag to Kaudiyala is serene where you can click pictures and enjoy an almost unnatural calm.
• Strap your seat belts tight after this for an experience of a kind that makes you feel like you are in a huge,pretty nature's toilet bowl being flushed down gently.

                                          

8.GLIDING AT PUNE

• Gliding is the simplest form of flying and yet exceptionally different when compared to any other.
• Gliding involves flying in small fixed wing aircrafts called 'gliders' or 'glider planes', which are also known as 'sailplanes' in some parts of the world. Gliders fly without the power of engines. All you can hear inside the aircraft cockpit is the sound of the wind.
• Once launched (with the aid of a winch), pilots fly using warm upgoing air currents called 'thermals' to rise to greater heights. This process of gaining height using thermals is known as 'soaring'. Once gliders gain height, they can travel or glide to a location away from the take-off location.
• I was lucky enough to have experienced this in April this year. Seeing my excitement,the pilot ensured that i stayed in the air for extra 5 mins when compared to the regular 7-8 mins ride.
• If you are in or arnd  Pune,this one's a try for sure.
