Adrenaline and stellar view? Yes, please. Travelling in itself is therapeutic. It pleases the soul, calms the mind, broadens our horizons. And when it comes to adventure sports, things can get a little bit heated. Imagine going volcano boarding, or freshwater cave diving. There’s bungee jumping that lets to l=jump off a ledge (full Mission Impossible style) while being tethered to a rope, skydiving, zorbing, coasteering, snowmobiling, kitesurfing, mountain biking – the options no hold barred. While you’re are it, imagine killer views as you hand glide over the cityscape, or ride through the most intense terrain. Here are a few places that offer adventure sports with amazing views. Bungee Jumping in Norway – The beauty of Norway doesn’t need any intro. With its uncountable fjords, mountains, glacial valleys, there is no dearth of scenic beauty. Bungee and base jumping is particularly famous there that offers an absolute stunner of views of the lushness below. Mountain biking in Annamalai Route – Annamalai mountain has one of the most difficult routes that adds more thrill to those who seek peak of it. Mountain biking here needs deft hand as it is 8000 metres above sea level and the remoteness will pump adrenaline like never before. Volcano boarding in Chile – Imagine hiking up the slopes of a volcano to board down it. Yes, that’s what volcano boarding is, and it requires extreme skill to brake and steer on its downhill ride. And there’s the added thrill of a peaking volcano behind. Zorbing in New Zealand – Tumbling down the green valleys in a plastic ball? Yes, please! Add a touch of nostalgia and bring your best friends/siblings along and zord down the valley. Cave Diving in Mexico – Diving in the ocean is one thing. But freshwater cave diving takes you under the Earth, among limestone caves where you get to see nature’s most amazing limestone formations. This is privy to those who do not mind diving into the freshwater caves, which is most popular in the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. Wingsuit gliding in Texas, US – humans aren’t built to fly. Well, with wingsuit gliding anyone can. This adventure sports is about wearing a wingsuit and lets you free fall from a plane miles (just like skydiving) but unlike skydiving, this lets you free-fall slower and enjoy your free-fall time, while enjoying view from up there. Heli skiing in Andes – Heli skiing in the Andes is not for novice skiers. Most of Europe is frequented by adrenaline junkies but Andes’ slopes remain mostly untouched. Unlike normal skiing, heli-skiing involves a helicopter taking you to the most remote peaks for you to snowboard down the slopes. Just you and the breathtaking mountains and not many tourists in sight.
