Adventure sports in India came into existence when the British started
developing various hill stations all over India. These hill resorts served
as the base from where treks were undertaken. With the introduction of base
camp, it became much easier for the adventurers to explore the nearby
located areas on their own. The area has now emerged as a trekking paradise.
Here is a list of some famous trekking destinations.
