Travel Activities

Many of us would enjoy getting outside and escaping our day-to-day life with some fresh air while traveling. Activity Tourism covers a range of areas from “active” holidays involving canoeing, climbing, horse-riding, and mountaineering, to the less physical, yet still activity-focused areas of nature watching, food trails, or local culture and heritage trails. Top leisure travel activities for Indian travelers: (1) visiting relatives; (2) shopping; (3) visiting friends; (4) fine dining; and (5) rural sightseeing.

Many travelers seek out destinations that are particularly suited to specific activities, such as scuba diving or rock climbing.

We list here some of the travel activities you can enjoy;

Walking Tours

Hiking is a standard activity for getting outside. Trails exist all over the world for all experience levels, but getting past the first few miles of any hike will often get you out of the tourist zone and into more serious solitude with nature. Or combine hiking and camping on a backpacking trip to really sync up with the outdoors.

Star Gazing

One big advantage of actually getting out of the city when traveling is the night sky. Free from light pollution, you can check out constellations, planets, meteors, and more.

Fly-Fishing

For an excuse to stand in a river enjoying the sounds, smells, and scenery of some of the most beautiful locations, try fly-fishing. Fishing is a perfect multi-generational activity to enjoy with children, grandparents, or whoever. With enough practice, you may even catch a coveted cutthroat trout.

Horseback Riding

Many people may shy away from this, citing lack of experience with horses, but most operations have horses for riders of any experience including none. Horses can take you greater distances in a shorter time, covering terrain that would be difficult or inaccessible otherwise.

Cycling + Mountain Biking

On the trail or the road, spending time on a bike allows you to slow down and take in your surroundings. Mountain biking can give the biggest adrenaline addict a rush, while road cycling may offer a more peaceful and calming experience. Travel on your bike or rent one at your destination, and your possibilities for exploration have already expanded.

Whitewater Rafting

Whitewater rafting trips around your destination, especially if you’re going somewhere with mountainous terrain. Rafting will let you connect with the rougher side of nature while enjoying the comfort of a team and an experienced guide.
