Some may feel visiting places around the world and feeling the presence would give them goose bumps. How can you deliver your experience in words when you fly over the top of the world or dive under water with sea creatures.
While mentioning adventure sports like scuba diving, parasailing or skydiving, you would think of going out of the country to enjoy the experience, not in India.
That is where you were wrong, as India has inhibited these adrenaline pumpers in, to pamper your feral instincts. So let’s explore the sports and the places where you can try them out, as reported by India travel and tourism.
# Scuba Diving
If you are the one who gets excited near the blue waters and can’t wait to get into it to probe its depths, then you should try this out.

The aquatic animals trotting in your path, the beauty of the scenic under water and being at the depths feeling the pressure of water at that stage is mesmerizing.

# Parasailing
The beauty of sojourn oceans can be felt from the top too! That is by parasailing, where the rider is towed through the equipment by a vehicle that reminds us of parachute.
Scuba diving is for minute examinations, but if you crave for miniature view of the blue then parasailing is for you. With a motor boat at the front that propels your flight in to air or at lower speed on the waters too.
If you are training with a pilot then no need of training as is mandatory in scuba diving, but if you are on your own then training is a must. It is one of the most popular water sports in Baga, Calangute and Candolim beaches of Goa.
# River rafting
Diving, gliding are the one side to relish the water, along with them is another way to face the waters turbulent behavior facing the crux and enjoying the challenge.
If you think you are strong enough to cut through them then river rafting is the apt sport for you. Along with the safety measures needed to be taken before plunging it requires truckload of courage to thwart the strokes back.
Ganga at Rishikesh has been the favorite river rafting destination for adventure addicts over the years. Zanskar and Indus rivers in Ladakh, Kolad in Maharashtra, Teesta River in Sikkim, Darjeeling and Tons river in Garhwal, Uttarakhand are some of the other famous river rafting sites.

# Bungee jumping
Jumping in air is not much of an adventure but to jump into the air as free fall gives you an instant adrenalin rush. Freely falling down to abyss is something dangerous, and can only be done by Spiderman. But the prime difference here is Spiderman has his web string in hand to hold him and here is a harness belted to your waist.
You need guts to undergo this experience but once you do it, you will fall in love with the sport as it helps you face you fears and overcome them.
Jumping Heights at Rishikesh, Ozone Adventures in Bangalore, Gravity Adventure Zone in Goa are a few places where you can test your courage while Bungee jumping.
# Skydiving
Chills down your spine, that is the sort of experience skydiving is. Sailing in air without any support, human beings long time dream of flying can be fulfilled here but to get going you need a willful heart.
For backers it is nothing short of suicidal jump, but it is lifetime experience you need to have atleast once.
You need to undergo proper training for this because it is fatal without training in mid air where the oxygen levels are low. The courses take up to a month or sometimes 15 days, the best place to try this out is Mysore in Karnataka, Dhana in Madhya Pradesh, Aamby Valley in Maharashtra and Deesa in Gujarat where great sky diving experiences are offered in India.

# Paragliding
Jumping off a cliff is like something dangerous to life, but not if you are equipped with the survival gear in place. It is a crazy sport in which Paragliders sit on a harness attached to a lightweight fabric wing, by which they can fly for an hour or so.
Flying here is the ‘keyword’ and unlike skydiving you can direct your chute to direction of your choice, you can also nosedive and land at a particular location.
Paragliding in India are in the state of Himachal Pradesh. Both Billing and Manali, located in Himachal, offer wonderful scenic view of Himalayan ranges as you glide in the air, slowly descending down to the ground. Nandi Hills near Bangalore and Pawana dam near Pune are other favorite paragliding locations that you ought to visit.
