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.
