There are
very few places in the world as richly endowed as Himachal
Pradesh with its geographical diversity. Shimla is situated in
the Shivalik range of
Himalayas with combinationof
low lying hills to gigantic mountains. Shimla district is full
of thickly populated pine trees and small rivulets, rivers in
deep gorges and placid mountains lakes, mountain sides draped
in snow, and green alpine
meadows, all form a part of this immense spectrum. And thepossibilities for
a wide range of adventureactivities is
enormous. There are day-hikes by the thousand, and trek routes
follow trails that last couple of days or can even extend over
few weeks. These vary from gentle walks over easy terrain, to
grueling expeditions. There is skiing, heliskiing and
ice-skating. there is the thrill of paragliding and the test of
stamina with mountain-cycling. You can go camping andfishing and play golf
or take a safari by car, jeep or on motorcycle. All you have to
do is make up your mind and select your own activity. No special training is
required for most things, age is no consideration and all you
need is reasonable level of fitness. Equipment, training and
instructors are available. And then, all this comes at a
fraction of what it would cost elsewhere in the world.
