Adventure Sports in Kashmir

Hang Gliding and Hot Air Ballooning

Though some trials for hang gliding have been held in the valley, the sport still continues to be rare. The location of a flat valley surrounded by high mountains is an ideal terrain for hang-gliding. Higher up, the meadows at the foot of mountains such as Yusmarg, Gulmarg and Sonamarg are idyllic spots to try hang-gliding. Hot air ballooning along the valleys of Suru and Zanskar can prove very challenging.
