Water Sports
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.
