If I turn the page some years back, India was never considered an ideal destination for adventure sports. We used to read about adventure activities taking place in USA, UK, Europe and other foreign destinations. But now the time has changed; we have evolved- evolved into the most fearless souls taking risks everyday- challenging the depth of the seas, high altitudes of the Himalayas and cutting down the air jumping from the plane. We have turned into one of the top destinations for adventure sports in Asia.
For all the adventure seekers- bungee jumping is not a new word. In fact, when it started in India- we went crazy for the adrenaline rush that this sport gave to us. Love butterflies in your stomach- not afraid from heights or thrown down from several feet high? Then this Breathtaking sports has been designed for you. Here’s a list of 5 amazing destinations for Bungee Jumping in India-
