Water Sports in Rajasthan
The lakes of Rajasthan are known for water sports. During the 1982 Asian
games, rowing competitions were held at Ramgarh lake near Jaipur. Ramgarh
lake is a man-made reservoir around 4 kms. in length and 2 kms in width.
Throughout the year, water sports of all kinds can be arranged
here. Facilities for swimming, boating etc. are available. Boating is a
regular feature, conducted by trained Rajasthan Tourism Development
Corporation staff. A fully equipped tourist village with 10 huts is situated
here.
Drive for about 10 kms from Alwar and you enter dreamland.
The undulating hills flaming with bougainvillea and gulmohar cradle the
majestic Silliserh Lake. A beautiful Palace Hotel which is run by Rajasthan
Tourism Development Corporation provides all facilities.
Udaipur - the lake city of India, is also good for water sports with boating
being a regular feature. The ideal place for water sports is Jaisamand Lake
situated 50 kms south of Udaipur. This lake is the second largest artificial
lake in Asia (the water spread area is 90 sq kms.). Throughout the year,
water sports of all kinds can be arranged here.
The Chambal
river offers the exhilaration of water rafting in the Kota region. From
Jawahar Sagar to Dholpur, the intricate network of the Chambal river,
flowing through rocky gorges and forests, provides ideal locales for the
perfect water adventure. While traversing the river by boat, one Jjcan see
the gavial (crocodile) basking in the sun on river banks. Plans are underway
to introduce a ferry service on the Chambal river from Kota barrage upstream
to Bhensrodgarh - a fine opportunity to ride on the gushing waters.
Rajasthan also offers angling sites. Bandh Baretha in Bharatpur, Siliserh
and Jaisamand in Atwar, Mansarover near Sariska, Kukas, Chhaparwara and
Ramgarh in Jaipur are an angler's paradise. However, the enthusiasts are
advised to carry their own eaubment and obtain permission from the Fisheries
Department, Patience and perseverance in angling, as in life, has rich
rewards.
