If you believe in exploring forests, mountains, rivers, and meadows by the means of a vehicle, mountain biking is a sport for you. Whole of Himachal Pradesh is the playground for those who love to pedal and move on rocky terrains. With the invention of light weight and durabel metal alloys, bikes have taken a totally new look and shape than what they were earlier. Now more sophisticated bikes mean more flexibility and better biking on mountains. The rugged Himalayas provide immense oppurtunity to the bikers. Most of these mountain bike tracks involve some single track riding and demand technical skills. The biggest attraction is riding down the tricky terrains, but if you want to choose the terrain region be sure that you are skilled enough to ride over there. Off - road trips are cheaper because they involve camping or stays in fairly off beaten path accommodations. In general, mountain biking trips focus on those who are born to be wild. |

One of the greatest desires of mankind has been to fly freely like a bird, and explore the bounds of sky. The desire can’t becompletely fullfilled by heli copter or aeroplane ride, as they do not give a first hand experience. Paragliding has therefore emerged as a new means to satisfy the hunger for flying. Para gliding uses “thermals’ as the driving force. In perfect weather conditions one can stay aloft for over three hours and can soar to heights more than 3,000m.

The melting snow on Himalayas during summers, fill the rivers with water and also provide them the enough speed to take up rafting challenges. Himachal Pradesh’s snow-fed rivers pose the toughest of the challenges to the rafters. The magic behind rafting is the extreme and never-ending thrill in the untamed rivers. The upper Himalaya rivers are among the best in the world for river rafting sports, with many staircase rapids that challenge the body and spirit of the rafter. The river cuts against the rocky banks, crashes into rocks, crevices and gets broken into white water rapids, foaming, swirling, and falling in a thunderous din |
