With hordes of young and energetic people from across the country moving in to Pune every year, our city has become one of the most happening cosmopolitan cities in India.
Not only does the city provides various sightseeing and trekking options for the adventure seekers but also has some great options for adventure sports in close proximity.
Here is our pick of adventure sports ( in random order of preference ) and where you can try your hand at them.
And if river rafting is not on the cards then try Kayaking right there!
Where : Kundalika River in Kolad
Distance from Pune : 115 KM approx.
Paragliding: This caters to our eternal fancy for soaring above the clouds and having a bird’s eye view of the city. Paragliding is one such adventure sport that gives an opportunity to try this thrilling feeling. Soar high in the sky and take a 360 ° view of the city while flying above the mountains. Soak in the lush green tree trails and picturesque beauty of the surroundings while experiencing this one of a kind thriller.
Where : Kamshet
Distance from Pune : 48 KM approx.
Bungee Jumping: A scary sport that excites the young crowd is Bungee Jumping. Attached to special equipment that is about 150 ft above the ground, the fall lasts for about 10 mins. and that is enough to get you an adrenaline rush like never before. Hanging upside down in the middle of nowhere will give every daredevil a spine chilling experience.
Where : Lonavala
Distance from Pune : 65 KM approx.
Waterfall Rappelling: With countless waterfalls around the city, Rappelling is one such sport that every Puneite must try. A trek to the top and then making your way down while rappelling through the waterfalls, this sport gives so much and all at once. The best time to enjoy rappelling is undoubtedly the monsoon!
Where : Torna Fort, Rajgad
Distance from Pune : 50 KM approx.
Where : Lonavala
Distance from Pune : 65 KM approx.
So pack your bags and get set for your adventurous weekend !
