Adventure sports
The simplest of adventure ports are trekking, swimming, cycling, skating, tree climbing, and rock climbing. All these activities are to be carried out under the supervision of a professional guide and all safety precautionary measures must be taken to avoid accidents and injuries. Use of safety equipment is a must - a skater has to use a helmet to protect his head. Use of helmet is a must in mountain biking. headgear, ropes and other safety tools are used when one goes up a rocky mountain.
Everybody may not like to climb and it is not proper to force friends to climb a tree or a rock. For those who can, it is fun. Often, others also join in once they know it is safe! A professional guide must be available for help. Safety quinines must be strictly followed.
When you first look at a huge rock, the first thought that comes into your head is oh, I can’t climb that! Then you take a step towards it with hesitation. Finally, you conquer your fears and then you start climbing it, with the help of your guide. When you reach the top the rock, you experience a thrill and a joy. Your confidence gets a terrific boost! Adventure sports, under proper professional supervision, is not only fun. It makes you feel to finally have achieved what you thought was impossible!
In mountaineering, you are not competing with anyone.. there is no prize waiting for you when you reach the top of a mountain. Then only do people climb mountains? George Mallory, a great mountaineer, was asked why he wanted to climb the Everest. Mallory replied, because it’s there’.
The foothills of the Himalayas beckon mountain climbers! Himachal Pradesh, Garhwal, Kumaon and Ladakh have steep mountains to climb. Sikkim and N.E India too are good mountaineering destinations.
