A Guide to Adventure Travel in India
Most Adventurous Places
With the variety of climates, terrains, and cultures throughout the entire country, it’s no surprise that India adventures have been growing in popularity.
The Himalayan Region is heavily-toured amongst adventurers due to the endless amount of possible activities. Snow-capped mountain peaks, icy river walks, and flower-infused valleys in Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh offer mountaineering and trekking opportunities for beginner to advanced adventure seekers.
After spending a few days in the capital city of New Delhi, whirling around the streets in auto rickshaws and witnessing the splendor of managed chaos, your desert adventure awaits just west in Rajasthan. Safari during sunrise in Jaipur and try hot air ballooning, one of the newest adventure activities in India, during sunset in Pushkar. Pack your camera and head to Ranthambore National Park, one of the best spots to view tigers in their natural jungle habitat.
If you’re a water enthusiast, Goa is what you’ve been dreaming of for adventure tours in India. Stretching along the western coast, Goa is a popular destination for those looking for a sandy and festive experience. From more common options such as parasailing, white water rafting, and snorkeling, to newer water sports such as kite surfing, you will have an action-packed trip.
Popular Adventure Types
With the amount of available adventure travel in India, an organized program can help you maximize your time and resources while getting the most out of your experience.
Trekking and hiking are extremely popular amongst both locals and travelers; hiking the trails will allow you to get up close and personal with rare wildlife, local villages, and archeological sites. Experience the spirituality of India by trekking to some of the most treasured temples and partake in a ceremony. March is one of the best times to go hiking in India, as you’ll have clear skies and will avoid the humid monsoon months.
If you’re looking for a dual skill-building and adventure-taking opportunity, photography programs are calling your name. The colors of India’s clothing, nature, and shrines are enough to keep the shutters clicking. Live amongst locals and create a photo diary of students, monks, cows, and more, then shift your focus to the country’s unique holidays (such as Holi’s kaleidoscope of colors).
Another dual purpose choice for India adventures comes in eco-travel opportunities. Experience nature in its purest form while educating yourself and others on conservation. Work on research projects with tigers and elephants, and learn how these creatures are struggling to survive.
Anticipated Costs
India is one of the most vibrant and affordable countries for traveling and living. Unless you’re solely staying in big cities and luxury hotels, traveling in comfort will not break the bank. Flight costs will definitely be your biggest expense, followed by the latest popular India adventures, like hot air ballooning or any private excursions.
The exchange rate is in your favor for adventure tours in India. You could spend just $1 or $2 on a standard lunch or up to $10 on a nicer dinner. Stay away from international chains when buying toiletries or clothes and you will spend less than half the amount you would back home.
Participating in organized adventure travel programs in India will help cover a lot of costs. By paying upfront (prices vary depending on program and length!), you won’t have to worry about housing, meals, in-country transportation, or pre-planned excursions for the duration of your trip.
Depending on your nationality, there could be an additional fee with the tourist visa application. Make sure to check online, and apply for the visa early enough to avoid rush fees or other last minute costs. And consider creating a FundMyTravel account to help raise money for your trip!
GoAbroad’s Inside Scoop
India is huge, and with the low cost of living you could visit many different areas during your adventure. While safety is always a concern when traveling abroad (especially for women in India), you will find that by simply staying cautious and being smart with your decisions you can enjoy exploring all that surrounds you. Also keep in mind that locals are extremely welcoming and are always willing to offer suggestions or go out of their way to help you.
The pace of life in India may be much slower than what you are used to in your home country. This can be frustrating if you enjoy a sense of urgency or if you like your coffee shops open at 7:00 a.m. (try 9:00 a.m. instead). Instead of looking at your watch, wondering when you will arrive, take the time to enjoy a tea break during the six hour bus ride. Adventure travel programs in India offer a beautiful opportunity to let go of rigid schedules and simply live life day-by-day (no wonder yoga originated here!).
