Playing Polo in Ladakh<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Ladakh was introduced to polo in the 15th century, and the region adopted the sport as part of its culture. In fact, Ladakh has its own version of the game! You can see it being played at the Karakoram ranges. People visit Ladakh from all over the world to play it at such a high altitude! And, if you\u2019re in Leh, you can set out for the many biking expeditions that the region is known for. There are also some amazing rafting experiences you can take part in.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_A_white_water_rafting_trip_in_Arunachal_Pradesh\"><\/span><strong>2. A white water rafting trip in Arunachal Pradesh<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re bored of white water rafting in Rishikesh, here&#8217;s a place you&#8217;ve probably never considered &#8211; Arunachal Pradesh. Just like Rishikesh, Arunachal also has an ideal season for rafting &#8211; right after the monsoon ends.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Caving_in_Meghalaya\"><\/span><strong>3. Caving in Meghalaya<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You must have seen a lot of Hollywood movies about adventurers heading into a cave, exploring every dark corner. Well, you can have that experience in India. In fact, South Asia&#8217;s deepest caves are found in the Khasi Hills of Meghalaya.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Hot_air_ballooning_in_Rajasthan\"><\/span><strong>4. Hot air ballooning in Rajasthan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re bored of walking through monument after monument, there&#8217;s another way to enjoy Rajasthan&#8217;s monuments. You can literally fly over the various forts and palaces in a hot air balloon, via the many hot air balloon tours that tourist vendors provide. It is indeed a magical experience to get an aerial view of the monuments hundreds of feet up in the air.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Scuba_diving_in_Lakshadweep\"><\/span><strong>5. Scuba diving in Lakshadweep<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Lakshadweep is India&#8217;s only set of coral islands, and this is why this is the best place to experience the wonder of Scuba diving. You will get to see beautiful coral formations, marine life and more. Indeed, a once in a lifetime experience<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Rock_climbing_at_Hampi_in_Karnataka\"><\/span><strong>6. Rock climbing at Hampi in Karnataka<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Not many people know that Hampi in Karnataka is among UNESCO&#8217;s heritage sites in India. It is also known as one of Asia&#8217;s lesser known famous rock climbing destinations. When you have got your share of thrill, you can then explore the ruins left behind by the Vijayanagar kingdom, as Hampi was its capital.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Dzongri_trek_in_Sikkim\"><\/span><strong>7. Dzongri trek in Sikkim<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Trekking on the Dzongri trail is one of the most beautiful experiences that you&#8217;ll ever have. That doesn&#8217;t mean it will all about relaxation &#8211; it is also one of the toughest experiences you&#8217;ll have. It is the only trail that is visited by the toughest of trekkers. It is also the best way to soak in the flora and fauna of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Khangchendzonga_National_Park\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kanchenjunga National Park<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Snorkeling_in_Andaman_Nicobar_Islands\"><\/span><strong>8.
