Deep sea diving
About 7500 km coastline, 2 seas, 1 ocean, 2 island cluster and 0 deep sea diving spot. This is hard to believe. Beyond the beautiful beaches is a territory less ventured. Deep sea diving spots are spread almost throughout the entire coastline and the two island cluster. The top seven spot according to Triphobo are Havelock Island, Lakshadweep, Goa, Pondicherry, Islands of Netrani, Malvan and Kovalam.
La Tomatina
La Tomatina (Spanish pronunciation: [la tomaˈtina]) is a festival native to Buñol in which participants throw tomatoes and get involved in this tomato fight purely for entertainment purposes. Since 1945 it has been held on the last Wednesday of August, during the week of festivities of Buñol.
To experience this festival in India one must head to the Scotland of East - Shillong. The festival was celebrated for the first time in May, 2016. As per reports, the organisers made use of tomatoes discarded by local vegetable sellers.
An alternate to this can definitely be our own festival of colours - Holi. Though holi is celebrated all across the country some of the top places are Barsana, Shantiniketan, Mathura and Vrindavan.
Sky diving
According to wikipedia, parachuting, or skydiving, is a method of transiting from a high point to Earth with the aid of gravity, involving the control of speed during the descent with the use of a parachute. It may involve more or less free-fall, a time during which the parachute has not been deployed and the body gradually accelerates to terminal velocity.
Some popular destinations for this sport in India are Mysore, Pondicherry, Aamby Valley and Dhana. Alternatively one can also try paragliding at Bir Billing, Manali and Yelagiri.
Bull run
The Running of the Bulls is a practice that involves running in front of a small group of cattle, typically six, of the toro bravo breed that have been let loose on a course of a sectioned-off subset of a town's streets. The most famous running of the bulls is held during the eight-day festival of Sanfermines in honour of Saint Fermin in Pamplona.
In India the nearest similar sport is Jallikattu. Also known as Eruthazhuvuthal or Manju virattu, is an event held in Tamil Nadu as a part of Pongal celebrations on Maatu Pongal day. The sport involves taming the bull by holding onto its hump only. If contestants holds onto neck, horn or tail, then contestant will be disqualified. Bulls are bred specifically by people of the village for the event. In May 2014, the Supreme Court of India banned the practice, citing animal welfare issues. On 8 January, 2016, the Government of India passed an order exempting Jallikattu from all performances where bulls can not be used, effectively reversing the ban. However, on 14 January, 2016, the Supreme Court of India upheld its ban on the event, leading to protests all over Tamil Nadu.
P.S: The list of destinations for each of these sports is not limited to the one's mentioned here. They are the one comes on the first page of a Google search.
Someone truly said "The world itinerary altogether fits in India itself". Find your best pick and explore. Just one excuse:
