8/14/2021 Adventure sports in India Man being terrestrial by nature, the idea of flying high and diving deep in the blues has always held tremendous fascination for mankind. This intriguing wish has given birth to adventure sports. The adventure sports mania has recently rooted in the Indian scenario. Young generations always have a liking for adventures. They are always on the lookout for experiences that will get their pulsations racing. And an adventure sport caters to this very need for adrenaline surge. Additional to this, the rising Indian GDP gives substantial money in the hands of younger generations to splurge on such nerve wrecking outings. All these reasons have added to the growing popularity of adventure sports in India. India is blessed with a variety of geographic features and thus it provides as an ideal abode for all kinds of adventure sports. With a crowning glory of Himalayas on top and a number of rivers flowing through, Trekking, Rafting is possible. Being surrounded by sea extensively, there is a lot of scope for scuba diving, parasailing, jet skiing, water skiing etc. I have summarized in short the various adventure sports one can enjoy in India. Kayaking Or Rafting White-water rafting is a recent attraction for tourist in the north. Indian rivers flowing through the snow clad Himalayan peaks provide ample scope for rafting. These river beds being rocky it gives a turbulent flow to the river waters and hence it makes the rafting experience here, an unforgettable one. Some of the rivers where rafting is possible in India are Ganges(Rishikesh), Indus(Leh),Tista(Sikkim), Beas(Kullus) Trekking Indian Himalayas provide a vast potential for trekking. Lot of professional trekking expeditions are conducted throughout the year. Trekking is an amazing experience. Apart from the climbing adventure it also inculcates patience and tolerance amongst the participants, most of the Himalayan trekking expeditions are long duration and it involves surviving in basic and at times adverse conditions. Almost every state in India has one or more , small or big hill and hence small scale trekking can be enjoying in almost every part of India. Trekking lovers can find trekking groups in their respective localities and enjoy in their leisure days. Jet Skiing Jet Skiing has gained a lot of popularity since it has been featured in quite a few movies in the recent past. It is one sport synonymous with Goa. Many beaches at Goa offer jet skiing. It is a smooth ride but can be quite an adventure if the sea water is at unrest. Beginners are accompanied by guides who manage the controls. It is similar to going double-seat on a bike. Water Skiing/ Wind surfing Wind surfing is one of the extreme sport for adventure lovers. Extreme because it is one person against the whole sea. It is an experience on the surfaces of the deepest seas and hence safety is the most major concern in water skiing. One can enjoy this sport in Goa. However it is not as common as jet skiing and is available only at select resorts in Goa with private beaches. Thus it comes quite heavy on the pocket. https://www.indiastudychannel.com/resources/136667-Adventure-sports-India.aspx 1/4 8/14/2021 Adventure sports in India Bungee jumping It the most popular adventure sport especially in the metropolitan cities of India. It involves a free fall from a height while your body is suspended from a height by means of secure ropes. The height of fall could vary from 120 to 700 feet. A good thing about it is that no special climatic or geographical conditions are required and so it can be enjoyed anytime and anywhere. All major cities in India like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai and Goa provide bungee jumping facilities. Para-gliding & para-sailing These two activities are the safest amongst the lot. There is no special skill required for it; just instructions to be followed. It is the thrill involved that makes it an adventure. The basic difference between the two is that parasailing is done on coastal lines where the parachute lands on the boat and in paragliding one has to dive from a high point, may be a hill top. Billing,Kullu,Solang, Lahaul & Spitil, Nainital, Dayara Bugyal, Garhwal, Kumaon, Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Bikaner, Matheran (Maharashtra) are common para-gliding places in India. Para-sailing is available at Goa and Kerala. The adventure sports rates at Goa are bargain able especially if visited during non- rush time (off-season). Scuba diving Those with real love for the ocean and who have a zeal to explore the deepest mysteries of the marine world, for them scuba diving is a treat. It is an adventure for some while for others it is a means to study the ocean floor, the marine life, coral reefs, and ship wreck remains etc. A variant of this activity is snorkelling; difference is in the equipments and skills. Both these activities can be done at Andaman, Nicobar Islands as well as Lakshadweep islands. Though the cost for these is high as per Indian norms, it is the cheapest deal offered here throughout the world. Hence a lot of foreigners are seen rushing to these sites for this lifetime experience. Ice Skiing It is common in European countries with snow peaks. It is very much new in India. Uttaranchal is possibly the only place in India where Skiing is done. The Government of India is making efforts to improve upon this particular activity. All these adventure sports are not necessarily life threatening. If the necessary precautions are taken and rules followed then untoward mishaps can be prevented. Small list of rules before you indulge into adventures. 1. Medical check up is must. Pregnant females, epileptic patients, heart patients, High BP patients, patients with respiratory problems are prohibited from participating. Minors should be accompanied by guardians. 2. Make sure a first aid kit is handy. 3. Follow the guide's instructions properly. Do not be irresponsible. 4. Make sure all safety apparatus is functioning, all protective gadgets and gear (life-Jackets, Oxygen masks, Hooks & buckles) are properly fitted before you begin. 5. Keep yourself well informed about the local weather and water conditions concerning the sport. 6. Clothing should be suitable for the kind of activity you are doing. For E.g. covering shoes for https://www.indiastudychannel.com/resources/136667-Adventure-sports-India.aspx 2/4 8/14/2021 Adventure sports in India trekking. Do not wear fabric that clings to your body for water sport.

    Proposed Water Sports Centres at Kai Tak

    Task Force on Kai Tak Harbourfront Development For discussion TFKT/17/2011 on 3 Aug 2011 Proposed Water Sports Centres at Kai Tak PURPOSE This Paper is to present Members with the Conceptual Background for the development of Kai Tak as a Water Sports Centre and to request endorsement of taking the concept further in determining the development content of the Kai Tak Waterfront. INTRODUCTION 2. The future planning and use of Kai Tak was presented to the public in 2004 as a potential sports hub for Hong Kong. While focus has been on the provision of the Stadium and associated land based sports facilities, little attention has been given to the enormous potential Kai Tak has to become the major focal point for water sport in Hong Kong, and to provide sports facilities not possible elsewhere. It has the potential to become an International Standard water sports centre in the middle of the City, and will require the water quality to be addressed. This would not only become an important water sports event centre but would for the first time provide a convenient water sports training and competition venue close to the main population centre of the City. 3. For the last year or so the three main National Sports Associations (NSA’s) responsible for water sports – The Hong Kong China Rowing Association, the Hong Kong Canoe Union and the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Association – having been meeting with the Home Affairs Bureau and the Kai Tak Office (KTO) of CEDD to discuss the opportunities that exist. Other water-based NSA’s have indicated a strong interest in being involved.

  • List of Extreme Sports: Bodyboarding: Is a Kind of Wave Surfing. But

    List of Extreme Sports: Bodyboarding: Is a Kind of Wave Surfing. But

    List of extreme sports: BASE Jumping: is very extreme activity that includes a parachute (can be used both parachute and wingsuit) to jump from fixed objects, with unopened parachute like skydiving. The acronym “B.A.S.E.” stands for: Building, Antenna, Span, Earth – four categories of objects from which B.A.S.E. jumper can jump. Bodyboarding: is a kind of wave surfing. But instead of surfboard u have a rectangular piece of hydrodynamic foam. Shape of board depends on riding style, and rider himself. Wiki says that bodyboarding is fastest growing extreme water sports all over the world. Canoeing: extreme canoeing (a.k.a whitewater canoeing or whitewater racing). These extreme guys race specialised canoes and kayaks down a dangerous whitewater rivers. There is also such a class like Extreme Canoe racing, that includes much more complicated rapids, leave it for real pros :) Extreme Motorsport: includes activities like supercross, motocross, freestyle motocross. Activities Travis Pastrana is good at 8) Free Running: Parkour is all about efficient movement around obstacles, focussing on speed and fluidity going from A to B. Free running is a variation of parkour which focusses more on creativity of moves/tricks and self-expression. Both sports are done in an urban environment because there are lots of structures and obstacles to make use of. Hangliding: - Gliding is either recreational or competitive and involves piloting an unpowered aircraft, using naturally occurring air currents to stay in the air. The gliders are launched into the air with either a powered aircraft or a winch. Ice Climbing: Kitesurfing: Paragliding is where you hang from a canopy similar to a parachute and are launched from a hill, or from flat land using a winch.
