The spirit of adventure and bravery
has always been a prominent part of life. In the days of yore, hunting was the
major source of excitement for the people. Pitting their wits against the most
ferocious of animals was considered a challenge. Wrestling was yet another outlet
for those seeking a show of strength. Today times have changed but the search
for adventure still remains. So if you're driven by the call of adventure, come
to Rajasthan.
Rajasthan - a land blessed with golden sands, meandering Chambal and Banas rivers,
Aravalli hills, forests and rolling meadows, cascading water falls and hospitable
people, steeped in a rich culture. Choose from gamut of activities like camel,
jeep, elephant, horse & village safaris, trekking and rock climbing. The
possibilities are limitless for indulging in water sports like boating, water
sailing, rafting and fishing in lakes. The more adventurous can opt for parasailing
and hanggliding in the Aravalli hills. Or shoot, with a camera of course, wildlife
and birds in the various sanctuaries.
Sir Edmund Hillary, the great Everester, who's thirst for adventure has proved
enduring and never-ending, found Rajasthan ideal for undertaking a journey on
a camel caravan. It was an unusual way to choose to cross the arid Thar desert.
And, following in his footsteps, one can re-live the adventure.
Fortunately, one can choose from a number of adventure sports options. Relax
with golf, go vintage, or practice archery, go boating - in the Chambal river
through the gorges of the Vindhayan plateau of Hadoti, or, go up in the air,
for a bit of aerial sightseeing over heritage cities by small aircraft or in
hot air balloons.
The terrain in Rajasthan is tailor-made for most adventure sports, what with
its Aravalli and Vindhayan hills, the open desert tracts, the vast lakes and
rivers, the wildlife parks, and little villages abandoned by the march of civilization
as is known, but no less hospitable for it. And threading these together, a
landscape where the paths and trails weave through a history rich with forts
and palaces, mansions and cenotaphs. And a culture that binds these together
into a fascinating journey. Just spot and sport it out.
