Hi Tinku, A zeal for adventure, physical fitness and mental aptitude are the prized possession of adventure sports. Patience and social skills will also go a long way. Basic education is enough to build a career in adventure sports. However, if you have a bachelor’s degree, you will have an advantage over others. Proficiency in a foreign language will be an icing on the cake as you might have to deal with a lot of foreign tourists. There are various sports colleges in India which offer undergraduate degrees. Besides that, you should get a specialized professional training on the sports you are interested in – paragliding, rafting, mountaineering, kayaking, rock climbing, skiing, canoeing, skiing, scuba diving etc. Rani Lakshmibai College of Physical Education, Gwalior; Himalayan Mountaineering Institute in Darjeeling, the Western Himalayan Institute of Mountaineering and Allied Sports in Manali, National Institute of Water Sports in Goa are some places from where you can obtain professional certificates.
