Things To Do In India
There are many things to do in India for all kinds and ages of travelers in all the seasons. No matter where one goes in the country, they’ll always find a variety of exciting activities to indulge in to make their trip memorable. Thanks to a diverse topography, the culture, and even the uniqueness of each state, travelers coming to India will always find themselves falling short of time to indulge in the plethora of experiences and fun things to do in India.
The varied landforms in India have opened the doors for all kinds of adventure as well as leisure activities for the adrenaline junkies on one side, and couples and families on the other. The hills, beaches, rivers, and lakes provide scope for a huge number of adventure activities in India for high-spirited youngsters and children who come here, mostly in the summer months.
The hills and mountainous areas are the best places to look for adventure in India. For trekking, one can go to parts of Himachal, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Kashmir, and other hill towns like Darjeeling, Ooty, and Mount Abu. Some of the most famous treks include the Roopkund Trek, Valley of Flowers Trek, Chadar (Frozen Lake) Trek, Bhrigu Lake Trek, Nag Tibba Trek, and Har Ki Dun Trek.
For paragliding, adrenaline junkies usually visit Bir Billing, and Manali while places like the Ganges in Rishikesh, Teesta river, and Zanskar river receive all white water rafting enthusiasts. Travelers go for skiing in destinations such as Auli, Pahalgam, Kufri, and Manali, while those who wish to indulge in a spot of mountaineering and mountain climbing, both beginner and expert levels, escape to the hills of Darjeeling, Nanda Devi, Parvati Valley in Kasol, and Ramnagar in Karnataka among others. Other fun activities in India for visitors of hilly areas include camping, river crossing, flying fox, zorbing, boating, bungee jumping, etc. Honeymooners and families can also go for a gondola ride in Gangtok and Darjeeling.
Adventurous things to do in India are not merely confined to those in the hills. The numerous water bodies in and around the country act as ideal spots for adventure and provide massive opportunities for watersports. Activities like parasailing, surfing, canoeing, kayaking, diving, and rafting figure prominently in the list of the top things to do in India for water lovers. One can try activities like water skiing, jet skiing, parasailing, boat rides, surfing, dinghy sailing, and swimming in coastal regions such as Goa, Kerala, and Pondicherry. Other than white water rafting, one can also try cliff jumping, and kayaking in Rishikesh.
While the hills and water bodies provide a zillion activities in India, one cannot forget the arid regions of the country when looking for fun experiences. For all those wondering what to do in India when in the western regions, places like Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Maharashtra have some of the coolest answers. Both honeymooners and families can go for a camel safari and camping in Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, and Bikaner; indulge in a stimulating session of desert safari in the sands of Jaisalmer; witness or be part of various engaging folk traditions, lively dance and music sessions; go on a village expedition; and watch colourful puppet shows, which are some of the special things in India.
To be one with the unique heritage of Western India, visitors can also attend the colorful cultural festivals and fairs, and treat their taste buds to the most sumptuous and spicy Rajasthani cuisines that will have them coming back for more! For a truly authentic and royal feel of Rajasthan, one must spend an evening at Chokhi Dhani in Jaipur at least once.<readmore>
Other cool things to do in India include visiting the wildlife sanctuaries, and discovering the wild side of India. One can avail guided expeditions either through guided safaris on jeeps and bicycles, or via nature walks and treks at the many wildlife sanctuaries and national parks like Corbett National Park, Sariska Tiger Reserve, Kaziranga National Park, and Gir National Park. Wildlife spotting and safaris in the wildlife sanctuaries are some of the best things to see and do in India.
With all this and more, one can never run out of exciting things to do in India on their trip. Indulging in some of these experiences on your trip to India will completely change the way you define travel!
