Fly Boarding at Vagator Beach in Panaji

Flyboarding is a watersport that is capturing the attention of many people. This watersport is exciting and promises to be full of fun. A flyboard is a hydroflighting device that propels you to the air giving rise to hydroflying.

Flyboarding was invented only in 2012 and is therefore probably one of the most recent and innovative watersports activities that you can take part in. Bollywood movie buffs can immediately get a reference of this from the movie Bang Bang where Hrithik Roshan was flyboarding in one of the stunt scenes.

A flyboard rider stands at a board that is connected to a speedboat. It then releases water under pressure with jet nozzles and propels the board. Flyboarding can lift a rider to a height of about 15 metres in the air.

A flyboarding kit has two components- a flyboard, which is buoyant on water and personal water craft (normally a jet ski) by which it force water under pressure through jet nozzles and can lift the rider high in the air.

Spiti Valley Circuit Trip

Spiti Valley Circuit Trip

The Trans Himalayan regions of Leh, Kargil, Lahaul and Spiti are landscapes that are one of their kinds and cannot be found anywhere else in the country.

It comprises a high altitude cold desert, high altitude snow-capped peaks, and bare stretches of peaks of various colours shaped by the various forces of nature.

This Trans Himalayan regions are remote with extreme climatic conditions, high altitude mountain ranges, and impenetrable mountain passes.

Despite this, the people of the region have adapted themselves to the conditions and happily live here.

This region also has several Buddhist Monasteries (locally called gompas) because Buddhism is practiced majorly by the people of this region which can visit.

These monasteries have absolute serene surroundings and are situated in pretty locations.

Best times to visit this area are from early June to the the end of September. It is also fine to travel during the monsoons as it does not rain much here in this region.

Hampi - Heritage Trek

The heritage city of Hampi which is referred to as ‘The group of monuments at Hampi’ is a UNESCO World Heritage Site

 in the east-central Karnataka, along with the shores of the Tungabhadra river.

It was one of the world’s second-largest medieval-era city, the first being Beijing, and one of India’s richest city during 1500 C.E., as traders from Persia and Portugal flocked to the happening capital of Vijayanagara.

After being conquered by Mughal Sultanates in 1565, I plunged the city to ruins, giving rise to the modern-day Hampi.

It is considered as a “Fantasy world of rocks and ruins” by the Lonely Planet.
