Adventure sports are means of entertainment and pleasure and
are very different and interesting. These adventure sports are
the sports of royals in the time of Maharajas.
Rajasthan is very uninteresting from the point of
view of sports from one sight, these adventure activities were
mostly promoted during the time of Maharajas. Rajputs who were
very skilled fighters were always able to develop their riding
skills in the matter of competitive sports; Rajputs form one
of the best polo teams. Villagers also take part in these
types of activities which are now a days known by the name of
adventure sports like horse and camel races, other adventure
competitions and cart carriages races etc. Horse Polo was
also played in Rajasthan. And also various safaris and safari
camps were also organised in Rajasthan. Afterwards during the
British Period golf was also commenced in Rajasthan. Now a
days adventure sports lovers have found sports activities in
the countryside, sports like ballooning, para-sailing, Horse
riding, and also other leisure activities like desert rallies,
safaris, Horse Polo, Bicycling etc. In Rajasthan water-related
sports of different types are also organized in the extensive
water bodies in Rajasthan.
