SKYDIVING MYSURU

Skydiving has been around long enough to have staked its place as one of the top adventure activities in India. Free-falling from a plane, toying with gravity, floating in mid air, and finally battling against the wind as you zoom towards earth like a hawk homing in on its prey—this is one thrilla-second activity. While you can go skydiving in numerous locations in India today, taking the plummet from a plane 10,000 feet above the pristine environs of Mysuru is probably the best bet. Here the land is greener, the air fresher, and the weather soothing and balmy all year long.
