Uttarakhand is one of the most popular Indian states for tourism. It is home to many temples and is part of the char dham yatra. The state is also known for being a hub for adventure tourism. If you love adventure, then you must visit Uttarakhand and try out the various adventure activities on offer.
Imagine going on a raft in the turbulent waters of the Ganga. From everywhere, waves of water are lashing at you, while you and your group members are fighting to keep the raft on track. Whitewater rafting is an exciting adventure. Uttarakhand offers multiple options for whitewater rafting. There is a 16 km water way that is relatively easy, and a 35 km one meant for experts.
Bungee jumping is one of the most thrilling adventure activities. You jump from a high platform down with only a bungee rope tied around you. The rope pulls you back as you fall, allowing you to swing in the air. It is an awesome experience that is made all the more amazing thanks to the background of the rivers and the icy mountains. Bungee jumping in Rishikesh is done off a platform at a height of 270 feet. You even have the option to do reverse bungee jumping.
Trekking is another adventure activity famous in Uttarakhand. Trekking is challenging when you have to walk long distances carrying a heavy backpack. It becomes all the more challenging when you have to climb steep, icy mountains. The Kedarnath trek, Chopta trek, Nanda Devi trek, Roopking lake trek, and Chandrashila trek are popular treks in Uttarakhand.
Paragliding makes you feel on top of the world. With a parachute as a canopy, you take off and glide through the air like a bird getting a great view of the hills. It is an enjoyable and adventurous activity for people of all ages. Rishikesh, Mussorie, and Bhimtal have paragliding activities that you can take up and enjoy.
