Celebrating Diwali can get too much sometimes, and although staying at home and having a huge party with your family and friends may seem like an exciting idea, but it can actually be a huge amount of work. The stress that goes into planning such a celebration can be damaging to your wellness and wellbeing. Instead, why not look into jetting off this year and having a holiday for Diwali, to enjoy the fun and celebration in a beautiful, serene place.
One extremely fun option is to travel two or three hours from Mumbai to a Paragliding holiday. At The Native Place, couples or groups of friends can spend time together whilst enjoying adventurous activities such as waterfall trekking, paragliding, hill walking and exploring caves. Even for those who aren’t too interested in fitness, there is also the option of lazing about in a hammock here, too.
If paragliding is too much action for you, you may want to chill out with a meditation holiday instead. In the Hide-Out near Mumbai, visitors can enjoy yoga, walking, treks, meditation and swimming in the beautiful lagoon. Here people can also indulge in ancient yogic practices whilst eating only the healthiest food, from the organic far that is also based at the Hide-Out.
Ramping up the adventure again, rafting at the Ganga Valley Adventure near Mumbai is a more strenuous activity that tis designed to challenge the fittest. When you are zipping down a white water rapid section of a river, you will find that your hand-eye coordination is tested to the max. In addition to rafting, you can enjoy other adrenalin-fuelled activities such as trekking, rafting, climbing, bungee jumping and rappelling.
Whatever you do this Diwali, whether it is an action-packed adventure or a relaxing, meditative break, make sure that you enjoy it with the light and warmth of special friends and relatives.
