Fun with a bit of thrill
Adventure on this page means soft adventure: things most healthy people can try with no special training. Think roller coasters, zip lines, forest walks, caves and boat rides. These trips suit college groups, office teams, young couples and families with teenagers.

Safety and planning tips
Follow the staff's safety rules on every ride and activity. Height, age and health limits apply to many rides and adventure games. Wear shoes with a good grip, not slippers, for treks and caves. Carry a rain jacket in the hills, a small torch, water and some energy snacks.
October to February is the best time for trekking in Coorg and Munnar. Rafting and waterfalls are at their fullest after the monsoon, but some activities stop in heavy rain. Theme parks are busy on weekends and in April and May, so go on a weekday if you can.
