The biggest problem any adrenaline junkie and adventure sports lover faces is that they believe they have to travel outside Delhi for thrill-seeking. What if I told you that you don’t need to do that anymore? That there are enough places in and around Delhi where you can satisfy your craving for adventure and thrill. Wouldn’t you be rushing to these spots as soon as possible? I know I would! So, here’s a list of 7 adventure sports you can experience right here in Delhi.
1. Flyboy Air Safari
If you’re a plan of paragliding, our very own Gurgaon has quite a unique experience for you in store. Air Safari is actually a twist on paragliding – a small automobile is attached to a parachute which operates with the help of a motor, harness and a propeller. It’ll help you fulfil your childhood dream of soaring in the sky like a bird. But don’t worry, there are trained pilots to assist you so that you can do it without fear.
Address: Flyboy Aero Park near The Westin Resort and Spa, Sohna, Gurgaon
2. Bungee Jumping
Ever dreamt about bungee jumping right in the middle of the city? I know I have and it’s finally come true! You can now jump off 170 meters above the ground level onto lush green land below, with a harness of course, and get that rush in a matter of minutes at the Wanderlust Adventure Sports. Best part? You won’t have to travel far to do it either!
Address: Garden of Five Senses, Sainik Farm, New Delhi
3. Camp Wild
If you’re looking for a place that’ll offer activities like rock climbing, zorbing, cliff jumping, flying fox and obstacle course, all in one place, then you need to head over to Camp Wild. Not only that, but they also have eco-lodges and safari tents for you to spend a night in. You know its good since it has been used for MTV Roadies along with various magazines and news channels.
Address: Manger Village, Faridabad – Gurgaon border
4. Paintball
Have you always wanted to shoot your friends but with less-drastic consequences? Lol! Pacific Mall, Subhash Nagar has a paintball arena where you can run around and attack people with colour. It’s not only super fun, but it’s also therapeutic. So, take your gang of girls with you and fire away.
Address: Lock & Load, Pacific Mall, Subhash Nagar
5. Rock Climbing
Yes we know that rock climbing has got nothing on real mountain climbing but it’s still quite an adventure nonetheless. Indian Mountaineering Foundation next to South Campus, Delhi University is the best mountaineering and rock-climbing institution in India and no matter how much experience you have, they have rock-climbing walls for all.
Address: Benito Juarez Road, Next to Springdales School, Dhaula Kuan, Delhi
6. ATV Circuit
I’ve been fascinated with off-road biking since the time I saw those cool dirt-biking scenes in a Hollywood movie as a child. And now, this activity is available right here in the city. The ATV circuit in Noida has a 1.5km long circuit and you will be provided with ATV bikes as well as safety gear. Any rookie can be a part of this too, as they have trained professionals to look after you.
Address: Green Beauty Farm House Land, Sector 135, Noida
7. F9 Go Karting
If you’ve ever been go-karting, you know how much fun it is and if you haven’t, you must try it once at least. While there are various places in the city that offer go-karting, the best in the city is the race track at F9 Go Karting.
Address: Near Green Park Vatika, Sector 17-18 Link Road, Sector 18, Gurgaon
