Heli Skiing In India
A
thrill-a-minute adventure sport where split-second decisions can literally
make or mar, heli-skiing is probably the most exciting sport to be
introduced in the sub-continent.
The first Asian country to
offer facilities for this sport, heli-skiing made its debut in Kashmir in
January 1988.
Set up in collaboration with the famous Swiss-born
ski-mountaineer, Sylvan Saudan, this exciting sport requires prior skiing
experience as well as a thorough knowledge of the physical features,
cornices, crevasses, wind direction and potential avalanche hazard areas.
Though expensive and exclusive, this ultimate adventure sport is
fast gaining popularity. Then of course, there is a range of the
conventional sporting activities, which can be viewed at various stadia.
One of these is an addiction called cricket and the best place
to watch this game is in an open enclosure, surrounded by roughly 50,000
frenzied fans! No wonder, it's called the 'religion' of the sub-continent.
For fitness freaks, there are jogging trails, more often than
not within the hotel premises where they are staying or just outside it.
In fact, in this regard, the capital city of New Delhi has very few peers,
with it's open, green spaces very much a jogger's delight.
