Tourism Attractions in India: Adventure & ActivitiesTrekking Trekking has come a long way since the days of tedious journeys on foot or grueling hours of travel by ox-cart. Today, trekking conjures up visions of the spectacular northern and eastern Himalayas, the mist-strewn western Ghats or the blue tranquillity of the Nilgiri Hills. India is the ultimate destination for a trekking holiday, offering everything from short and easy excursions to the long challenges of the snowy peaks. Trekking is comparatively undemanding, requiring only stamina to walk long hours and the mental agility to adapt to an ever-changing landscape. And the landscape is indeed spectacular. The trekker will encounter rugged hills and mountains, green slopes carpeted with wild flowers and ice cold streams gurgling over boulders and ground pebbles. Far above in the clear blue sky, eagles wheel and bank while golden orioles, scarlet minivets and white-cheeked bulbuls pierce the pure air with their sweet cries. To take a trek in India is to rediscover the awesome majesty and beauty of nature. The highest mountain range on earth – the Himalayas - forms 3500 kms of India’s northern and eastern frontiers. The spectacle of the snow capped peaks, glaciers, pine forested slopes, rivers and lush meadows of wild flowers cannot be equaled. Peninsular India offers natural beauty of another kind, clothed in green woodland and fragrant orchards. Below is a description of the important trekking areas in India, also a section devoted to general trekking information. Water Sports on BeachesIndia’s coast is decked with some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

The Indus
Valley civilization, one of the oldest in the world, dates back at least 5,000
years. Aryan tribes from the northwest invaded about 1500 B.C.; their merger
with the earlier Dravidian inhabitants created the classical Indian culture.
Arab incursions starting in the 8th century and Turkish in the 12th were
followed by those of European traders, beginning in the late 15th century. By
the 19th century, Britain had assumed political control of virtually all Indian
lands. Indian armed forces in the British army played a vital role in both World
Wars. Nonviolent resistance to British colonialism led by Mohandas GANDHI and
Jawaharlal NEHRU brought independence in 1947. The subcontinent was divided into
the secular state of India and the smaller Muslim state of Pakistan. A third war
between the two countries in 1971 resulted in East Pakistan becoming the
separate nation of Bangladesh. Despite impressive gains in economic investment
and output, India faces pressing problems such as the ongoing dispute with
Pakistan over Kashmir, massive overpopulation, environmental degradation,
extensive poverty, and ethnic and religious strife.
