Adventure Travel in India - Never Too Old For It!

They say growing older has its perils – and one of them is staying away from jaw-dropping, exciting adventures in India. More often than not, the person will give an emphatic shake of the head and say ‘Why take a risk when you can choose the safer option of sightseeing?’ I beg to differ! Life’s to be enjoyed and every new adventure only makes you feel younger. So why let age be a bar? Come and get a taste of real adventure with activities suitable for all age groups in India!

Hot Air Ballooning – Up, Up and Away!

Beautifully adorned with stunning monuments, Jaipur has long been a must-visit destination in India and provides a marvelous backdrop for hot-air balloon rides. A sight to behold, the Amber Fort, Jal Mahal and other picturesque attractions appear minuscule as you drift up into the open skies. Enveloped in silence, with only the occasional wind interrupting it, the Sky Waltz hot-air balloon ride in Jaipur is thrilling and strangely peaceful at the same time.

Trekking – Scaling New Heights

Exercising has always been deemed as a great stress-buster, but combining adventure and exercise through trekking is a new high altogether. Don’t be scared by this word; trekking is a great experience for all age groups! Himachal Pradesh and Uttaranchal top the list for this relaxing and enjoyable activity in the lap of nature.

One of the most popular treks, however, is that to the Valley of Flowers, a renowned World Heritage Site. This jewel is surrounded by mighty hills, alpine flowers and is also home to rare species like the snow leopard!  Meanwhile, adventure enthusiasts can also head to Jammu and Kashmir for the famous Chadar Trek, a frozen river trek in Zanskar.

If you wish to explore the Land of Thunder Dragon, pack up your bags for the gorgeous Druk Path trek. A beautiful way to explore the true essence of Bhutan, this trek is a fairly easy one! Revel in nature as you walk through forests, ridges and admire stunning white and blue vistas.

Mountain Biking – Riding in the Lap of Nature

Beautiful breeze, sunny skies and the ride of a lifetime – that is, in short, how mountain bikers describe the experience. Whether you are looking for a stress-free holiday or are a nature lover, exploring untouched terrains by mountain biking in North-East India is a true wonder. From Sikkim to Meghalaya, the cycling tour options are plenty but they all promise one thing – an unparalleled vacation amidst breathtaking landscapes.
