Before you read about destinations for adventure lovers in India I want you to recall these lines.
Dilon mein tum apni betabiyan leke chal rahe ho. Toh zinda ho tum!
Nazar mein khwaabon ki bijliyan leke chal rahe ho. Toh zinda ho tum!
Hawa ke jhonkon ke jaise aazad rehna seekho
Tum ek dariya ke jaise, leharon mein behna seekho
Har ek lamhe se tum milo khole apni baahein
Har ek pal ek naya samaa dekhiye
Jo apni aankhon mein hairaniyan leke chal rahe ho. Toh zinda ho tum!
Dilon mein tum apni betabiyan leke chal rahe ho. Toh zinda ho tum!

Are you someone who sleeps with the light on when you are alone? Scared of bats and snakes? Then we don’t recommend this activity at all. Caving in Meghalaya, in the North East is only for the brave hearts! This activity involves getting down on all fours, finding your way through claustrophobic tunnels and getting down and dirty in the mud and slush.
