Chandigarh Tourism is all set to organise the first ever edition of the Adventure Carnival, to be held from 22 to 26 April, at the Exhibition Ground in Sector-34. It offers exciting adventure sports activities for the city's sportspersons and enthusiasts.
Chandigarh already boasts of a strong cultural landscape through events encompassing the arts — literature, theatre, film, dance, music. However, the Adventure Carnival is a first of its kind event as far as adventure sports are concerned. AK Malhotra, GM (Tourism) told Guardian20, "Given the dearth of exciting sporting activities in the city, the residents, especially the youth, used to travel across other states to enjoy a variety of adventure sports and get over their fears."
Elaborating further on the format, Kavita Singh, MD CITCO-cum-director Chandigarh Tourism, said, "Some of the activities that would be a part of the carnival are bungee Jumping, cage rides, hot air balloon, jeep towed parasailing, zip line (150-200 feet) with log and bamboo machaans, ATV dirt track, running bungee, archery, air rifle shooting, Velcro wall, paintball battles."
