Parasailing  
   
 
   
Another form of aero sport that is popular with adventure sport lovers in India is Parasailing. In this sport, you are attached to a parachute that takes to the air with as few as three or four steps. You soar to several feet above the ground level. It is easy to learn how to parasail and can be experienced with the entire family during an adventure sport vacation.
Para gliding is another form of aero-adventure that requires some basic training. Parachutes are used to glide in the glorious heights here, and this sport can be great fun. The thrill of it can be best experienced on the slopes at Auli and in the Doon valley.
