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 Siliserh Lake. A beautiful Palace Hotel which is run by RTDC 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 Udiapur. This lake is the
second largest artificial lake in Asia (the water spread area is 90 sq kms.
). Throughout the year, waler 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
rock gorges and forests, provides ideal locales for the perfect water
adventure. While traversing the river by boat, one can see the gavia (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 Bhensordgarh - a fine
opportunity to ride on the gushing waters. Rajasthan also offers angling
sites. Bandh Baretha in Bharatpur, Siliserh and Jaisamand in Alwar, Mansarover
near Sariska, Kukas, Chhaparwara and Ramgarh in Jaipur are an angler’s
paradise. However, the enthusiasts are advised to carry their own equipment
and obtain permission from the Fisheries Department. Patience and perseverance
in angling , as in life, has rich rewards.
