8 Good Reasons To Stay Active On Holiday

It’s tough to tear yourself away from the beach lounger, but a holiday can be just the refresher you need to kick-start a new fitness regimen. You can kayak down a river in Bhutan, cycle through wildlife sanctuaries or even learn scuba diving in the Andamans, building strength, endurance and good gams while you take in the sights. Plus, all the sunlight will do you so much good. So, why not try…

04 HOURS TREKKING IN SHIMLA,HIMACHAL PRADESH

FIT FOR: Exercise newbies. You can finish the four-hour round-trip with a few breaks—be sure to pack a power snack.

THE CIRCUIT: Ditch the crowded Mall Road for an adrenaline-boosting walk through the wooded areas around Shimla. Start the 10 km trek from Shoghi (most resorts are located in this suburb) and hike through the main road till it turns off on to the path towards Suro village. After just a minute’s walk, all you’ll hear is bird song and all you’ll see are towering pines. The path is ideal for beginners with a combination of uphill and downhill routes as well as long stretches of relatively straight walking. If you’re prepared to take it up a notch, try a spot of valley crossing on a zipline or guided rappelling. (Park-woods.com)

WORK IT: The hilly, undulating terrain is perfect for a full-body cardio workout.
