Heli
Skiing in India
The
first Asian country to offer facilities for this sport, heli-skiing made its debut
in Kashmir in January 1988.
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.
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.
