Water sports may appear an alien concept in Rajasthan
but the presence of large lakes has actually made the
development of such sports possible. Even though they
are not popular yet, the opportunities exist, a fact
that was brought home when the water games during the
prestigious Asian Games in 1982 were held at Jamua
Ramgarh on the outskirts of Jaipur.
STEAMER RIDES: "Kayaking, water scooter etc. facilities
can be made available. Please contact Tourist Reception
Centre, Kota for details. Phone: 07442327695.
BOATING: Regular boating is offered at several places in
Rajasthan, whether on the lakes in Udaipur, or at places
such as Siliserh near Alwar. Rajasthan Tourism
Development Corporation has made paddle boats available
at a number of lakes.
WATER- SKIING: This is a new sport in the arena. An
upcoming added sport for visitors.
ANGLING: For the angler, Rajasthan's lakes and streams
teem with game fish. The fishing expeditions can be
undertaken with appropriate licenses in most of the
lakes in Rajasthan. Expensive angling equipment is
difficult to hire locally, and thus is recommended to
carry your own rod. |
