Climbing in India
Climbing in India can be one of the
most exhilarating experiences of conquering those virgin mountains
of sub-continent. In recent years it has also become the fastest-growing
sports of India. Explore the paths and acquire the wide-open
spaces of the Himalayan peaks. Sojourn to the splendid flora
and fauna in its natural environment. The trained guides organize
trips to the mountain peaks, as high as 3000 m to have a vision
of mountain wildlife or to luxuriate in the lush green mountain
valleys.
If you are taking up climbing adventure for the first time,
it might sound like a hazardous and rash activity. The sport
has undergone some progression in recent times, however, making
it safer and easier to learn than ever before. Climbing is a
sport of self-discipline, vigor, stamina and finesse that can
provide a great deal of personal gratification and, at times,
stimulation.
There are several distinct types of climbing- including ice
climbing, rock climbing, mountaineering and
mountain climbing. Over the period of time the climbing
has become fairly an advanced sport that has reached its height
through its different level courses with a qualified instructors.
Climbing adventure in India, as in the other parts the world
initiated as training for mountaineering. As a sport it took
off only about 15 years ago and the climbing standards have
reached to its greater heights in India.
Some of the most breathtaking regions with great climbs besides
Himalayan mountains are at Mt. Abu (Rajasthan), Pachmarhi
in Central India. The Gangotri Gorge 400 km. north of
Delhi has ample opportunities of big wall climbings, ranging
from 200m to 1,000m in alpine region. The town of Badami
and its environs north of Hampi is another beautiful area with
potential for new routing on the overhanging sandstone.
