ADVENTURE SPORTS IN JHARKHAND
Nature is a great
teacher. Trek through it. Take lessons from it. But remember The nature is shy.
It normally doesn't lift its veil. Once it does so to eager ones, they are
simply struck dumb, they forget to promise, but keep on returning, again and
again.

Jharkhand facilitates for adventure tourism incorporating other
adventurous activities such as paragliding and parasailing which are growing in

destination for adventure tourists. Two special sub-committees have been set up
to speed up the work on both setting up Jharkhand

studying potential for developing adventure sports sites. If all goes well, the
state would offer right from scuba-diving, snorkeling, rafting, sailing,
kayaking, canoeing, paddleboat, parasailing, paragliding to trekking,
mountaineering, jungle safaris and host of other activities.

assessment committee would see the scope of developing the area as an adventure
tourist spot and what kind of equipment are necessary. The members would be
required to speak to local people and select a few capable and interested
persons who could then be trained.
The decision was taken at the first
meeting of the proposed institute’s executive council which was chaired by
tourism and planning secretary Arun Kumar Singh, also the president of the
council. Two special sub-committees were also set up to work out the details of
the institute and its activities.
