Adventure sports in Himachal Pradesh

Travel destinations in Himachal Pradesh have a lot to offer to tourists. Travelers now want to see as well as experience places. This new trend has made Himachal Pradesh ideal. Visitors have not just sightseeing opportunities, but also adventure sports.

Are you someone who likes to indulge in thrill and adventure? Are you looking for a holiday experience like never before? Himachal Pradesh is the perfect place for you. Here is a list of top adventures you can undertake in Himachal Pradesh.

Trekking

This is one of the most popular adventure sports in the area. The state has more than 250 trekking trails which attract hundreds of trekkers every year. The forested hills, stream cut valleys, and snow-covered peaks are all you need. In the lap of nature, you’ll find peace like none other.

River Rafting

The valleys of Himachal are full of streams fed by glaciers. When the glaciers start to melt in March, the water becomes ideal for rafting. The activity remains unavailable in the monsoon months, so it’s best to check beforehand. Popular destinations for river rafting are in the Lahaul, Chamba and Kullu Valley.

Mountain Biking

Mountain Biking has become very popular in the last decade. It helps people combine fitness and adventure. Biking in the Valley can be a little difficult at first. Practicing frequently and acclimatizing helps to make it easier. The Manali-Leh Highway and Shimla-Rampur Routes are popular for Mountain Biking.

Skiing

Until recent years, most people thought skiing was only an option in western countries. However, in the last few years, Himachal Pradesh has become a top destination for skiing. The state spreads over the Dhauladhar range, the Shivalik range, and the Himalayan range. Starting December till February, the slopes are filled with wonderful skiing opportunities.

Paragliding

Poets have often written about the human desire to be a bird. Even as children, many of us wish to fly. Para Gliding is one adventure sport that actually lets you experience this feeling. Himachal Pradesh offers this facility for professionals who want to go solo as well as amateurs who can try it with a pilot coach. Several locations like Manali, Solang Valley, Bundla Dhar, and Bijli Mahadeo offer this sport. The best, however, is the town of Bir in Kangra district. Ranked as the second safest paragliding site in the world, this place is incomparable.

Ice Skating

This is another adventure sport that a choice few locations in the continent offer. Shimla’s Ice-Skating rink is the oldest in Asia. From December to February, tourists can enjoy this elegant activity. For professionals and enthusiasts, Shimla conducts an annual winter sports festival.

Rock Climbing

The gentle slopes of Himachal Pradesh make a perfect destination for rock climbers. The more experienced climbers also find adventure in the higher altitude Himalayan Mountains. Many institutes in the state allow enthusiasts to train and participate in rock climbing expeditions.

This is not an exhaustive list. Tourists can also opt for Rappeling, Zorbing, Angling & Fishing, Heli-Skiing, Jeep Safari, Mountain Motorcycling, and camping. If you’re looking for adventure, head to Himachal Pradesh!
