about adventure india

History and development:
Adventure India was established in 1997 by few tourism post graduates, academicians and trekking guides of Himachal. The aim was set to combine "adventure with utmost safety and luxury". This could be the first time when different products were undertaken for extensive research and the team has covered entire India with explorers and travelers from France, Germany, UK, Spain, Italy and Austria. Camp Sarchu Heights was established in 2001 as "world's highest luxury resort" on Manali- Leh highway and which is quickly turning into the "highest place for volunteer tourism" based on high altitude medical assistance projects. One of our major research works assists an adventurer to virtually explore "Almost Unseen" routes in Himalayas and our ambitious project launching shortly is to teach "Buddhism Online". We wish global travelers to join our projects so travel could be made the most respectful phenomenon of human development.
