India adventure sports

Famous for it's love of cricket and field hockey, India is also embracing adventure sports in a big way. With one of the largest countries in the world and a population of 1.2 billion people there are plenty of adventure activities to do, it's just finding them that is the problem. 

Finding trekking and touring companies which explore the vast jungles, mountains and forests is not difficult and for nature lovers, the safari tours present good opportunities to see endangered tigers, elephants, bears leopards, Indian gaur, lion tailed macaques and many other creatures. These tours can be explored by jeep, bicycle, rafting, paragliding or by good old fashioned foot. 

It's not so easy to find water sports but the rivers of Ladakh offer some of the best white-water rafting and kayaking in Asia. 

India is also a good place for rock climbing and horseback riding, and there are some professional scuba diving resorts.
