Adventure Sports in Dharamshala

Strategically located Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh which was a peaceful and sleepy village for several years after independence grabbed international headlines when it became the refuge of Dalai Lama, after he escaped from Tibet. The bustling town today has become a place of tourist interest for Buddhists and knowledge seekers of its ancient scriptures as there are several temples and museums here with artefacts and manuscripts that were brought here from Tibet. Famous for adventure sports in Dharamshala as much as it is for Buddhism, every year after the summer season, enthusiasts converge in the hills to explore paragliding, hiking and cycling tours. Paragliding may be exciting for some and scary for some but no one can deny the beautiful aerial view it gives of the surrounding valleys around Dharamshala. The gliders take the jump from strategic location at 2500 feet and fly across azure sky and clouds to land on a green valley.
