Soar Like an Eagle in the Sky of Mysore, Karnataka

When Anthony Hopkins in his 60’s attempts a sky dive in the movie Bucketlist, I realized that life is about living on the edge. We all should have a bucketlist and it should have skydiving in it for sure. As far as skydiving in India is considered, Mysore is the name that tops the chart. Offering best facilities and amenities, the skydiving camps provide the option of tandem jumps, static jumps and accelerated freefalls prior to professional training for 2 – 3 days to ensure all kinds of safety. So, Mysore is the place and skydiving is the next activity on your adventure list in India.

Tame the Rapids at Tons Valley, Uttarakhand

There is Ganga in Rishikesh with its tricky Daniel’s Dip and then there is Zanskar River in Ladakh with its difficult rapids but what catches the eye in the recent is Tons River in West Uttarakhand. The river offers Grade IV rapids, which are enough to get attention of expert rafters from round the world.

Hot Air Ballooning is probably one of the best ways to explore the royal beauty of Jaipur. Getting a bird’s eye view of this royal masterpiece is probably one of the best feelings that you can relish forever from your India visit memories. The excitement of flying over palaces, forts and lakes is quite special and beholding these fantastic sights and capturing them in your camera to cherish later is the ideal thing to do. These rides are arranged early in the morning and late afternoon as during this period the winds are quite favourable for this activity.

Get One on One with the Sand Dunes at Jaisalmer

Relatively a new sport in India, Dune Bashing is quite an enthralling experience. A 4X4 is led out in the desert only to destroy the sand mound coming its way. A little over the top but completely safe this activity can best be enjoyed at the SAM Dunes of Jaisalmer.

Put the World under Your Feet at Bir Billing

It is agreed upon that there a several treks that have a beautiful trail and Ziro is one of them. What makes this trek different from the others is its cultural value. Taking the less trodden road, one reaches Ziro Valley to not only enjoy its beauty but witness one of the most ancient tribes of India called Apatani. This trek gives one the opportunity to come face to face with a life that is devoid of all basic and modern facilities. Truly crossing the unpaved ways, visiting places that are lesser known and greeting people that one has hardly heard of bring a pleasure that one can only experience but not imagine.

Jet the Sea on a Flyboard at Goa

Comparatively a new watersport in India, flyboard is made available in Baina Beach of Goa. The sport most enjoyed by youngsters is done on a jet ski that seems to be attached by a hose that pumps water to send it as high as 15 metres in the air, enabling the rider to make dolphin-like maneuvers and dive under water from a great height. Allowing swirling, flipping and rising high in the water, fly board is indeed a great way to have fun in the waters of Goa.

Motorbike to World’s Highest Mountain Pass at Ladakh

India is a land of unbelievable places and motor biking through them is an experience that cannot be experienced anywhere. One such incredible motor biking destination is Khardung La, the highest motorable road in the world. Situated at the height of 5359m above the sea level, this high pass is enough to get your adrenaline run crazy.

The state of Meghalaya is probably the best places to go caving in India. These lesser frequented caves offer incredible thrill to the spelunkers who visit from around the globe. If these deep, dark and watery caves cannot grab attention then I do not know what will!
