India offers ample opportunities for water-sports enthusiasts. The heady
destinations like the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal and
Lakshdweep in the Arabian Sea extend chances of tasting the India waters
through adventure sports such as White Water Rafting, Scuba Diving, Water
Skiing, Canoeing and Kayaking, Angling and Fishing, Snorkelling etc. Goa can
be another fantastic option for water adventures. Rafting on the Ganges is
sure to exhilarate you to the highest degree.
White Water Rafting
The rivers in the upper Himalayan region are among the finest river rafting
destinations. The Ganges has always been a whole lot of adventure and fun
for the rafters. The Ganges near Rishikesh in Uttaranchal is a very popular
stretch among the river runners. The stretch from Kaudiyala to Rishikesh
extends up to 36 kilometres and bears 12 major rapids. A few of the rapids
along this stretch can give you tough times.
Scuba Diving
Scuba Diving is an opportunity to explore the mysterious horizons of the
sea. View the marine life at close quarters and catch them forever by way of
underwater photography. A whole variety of exotic fish awaits you
underneath. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands and the Lakshdweep Islands are
the most popular destination for Scuba Diving.
Water Skiing
Water Skiing is yet another adventure option. Tie yourself to the tow-rope
and go gliding on the Indian waters. It's a wonderful feeling as the boat
pulls you along, gradually picking up speed. You should also be a good
swimmer as you have no idea when you go off the rope. Go and feel the
exhilaration.
