In India’s Uttarakhand state, the department of tourism is promoting adventure water sports among the youth by organizing a special camp.

Uttarakhand is a hilly state with numerous rivers and streams and is gaining prominence in adventure sports.

Canoeing and kayaking are the two adventure sports taught at the training camp. Besides encouraging youth to give them a try, the activity also attracts tourists.

"The main objective of the tourism department is that the youth should get inspired by water sports. This will further inspire them to participate in national and international tournaments.”

A total of 28 youngsters and enthusiasts from other parts of the country are enrolled.

"The government should organize these camps more frequently, so that the people interested in adventure sports can be trained properly and be able to compete in competitive tournaments."

Uttarakhand has huge potential for trekking, skiing and water sports.
