India is a hub for some of the most adrenaline-filled adventure sports. However, the adventure spirit is not limited to just the north of India. South India packs in a lot of thrilling opportunities for adventure lovers. In fact, adventure tourism in Kerala is slowly growing in popularity among youths. Youth travel is also growing in Kerala as there are also a lot of adventurous places in Kerala to explore. So several adventure activities in Kerala such as Vagamon paragliding, Varkala surfing, Thekkady trekking, or even kayaking in Kerala, scuba diving in Kovalam, and bamboo rafting in Thekkady is becoming popular among youth travellers.
Simply put, adventure tourism is classified as a type of tourism where tourists participate in adventure activities such as paragliding, river rafting, and skydiving. The sheer risk and excitement of overcoming physical boundaries and going out of the comfort zone are what drives the youths to these activities.
Adventure tourism is, however, not a recent phenomenon. In the past, people ventured out into the unknown in search of food or for discovering new destinations. The 1800s saw the birth of adventure expeditions and the formation of renowned organisations such as The National Geographic Society. The 1900s also saw important expeditions such as those to Everest and Annapurna. Today, with commercialisation, adventure tourism has become a source of relaxation and entertainment and more and more youth are opting for it.
Adventure tourism in Kerala is another side to the vibrant diversity of tourism in Kerala. Kerala abounds in several options for adventure activities such as climbing, paragliding, skydiving, and a lot more. Here are some of the adventure activities in Kerala:
Paragliding in Vagamon - The idea of flying like a bird over the earth attracts many youths. The popularity of paragliding as an adventure sport is living proof of that.
