India is blessed with an unprecedented diversity of topography and climatic conditions. From the dizzying heights of the Himalayas to the expanse of the North Indian plains, from the sands of the Thar desert in Rajasthan to the raging torrents of rivers like the Ganga and the Bramhaputra, from the saltlands of the Rann of Kutch in Gujarat to the barren mountains of Ladakh, India has it all. With this incredible range of adventure possibilities, soft as well as challenging, there is something for everyone.
Climbing in the Himalayas is, for most, the ultimate adventure challenge. While mountain climbing expeditions can be organized for the serious climber, treks, hikes and mountain jeep safaris are ideal for those looking for thrills without the demands of high adrenaline sports. Treks run into regions of Ladakh, Zanskar, Markha, Nubra, Himachal, Lahul, Spiti and Kinnaur, Garhwal and Kumaon in the northern Himalayas. In the Eastern Himalayas treks run in Sikkim, the Darjeeling region and Arunachal Pardesh, while in the south they run into the lush green Nilgiris. Himalayan safaris can be timed to coincide with a ritual or festival in that part of Himalayan region.
Desert safaris are a great way to explore the colourful land of Rajasthan. You could opt for a short camel safari through a typical Rajasthani village or a long-distance expedition in open jeeps lasting a few days. The best times for traveling are the cooler parts of the day, the mornings and evenings. Of course, you can also combine camel and jeep safaris for a unique experience.
India is also prime white-water rafting country. High quality rafting can be experienced on the Ganga, Zanskar, Brahmaputra and Alaknanda rivers. Rafting on the Ganga is easily accessible from Delhi. The facilities are good and the guides and equipment are top-class.
Quality options also exist for scuba-diving, skiing, mountain biking, wildlife safaris and much more.
