Touting Adventure Tourism in India

Indian Tourism Ministry is busy touting India, as a destination for adventure tourists, from around the world. One look at the state of Indian roads, traffic planning, roads / highway vision documents, and facilities for cyclists and pedestrians, will surely put off the most intrepid of adventure tourist, from venturing onto Indian roads, without strong protective fibre glass gear.
Indian roads and highways, just do not have any place or space, for cyclists and pedestrian tourists. Maybe, this is a convoluted attempt, by Indian highway planners, to promote the low cost airlines in India.
The absolute insensitivity, of highway planners, to the needs of Indian pedestrians and cyclists, hardly needs any mention. But that the tourism ministry, keeps toying with the idea of India, as a safe destination for walkers, trekkers and cyclists, as part of an adventure tourism marketing promotion to India, is nothing short of a pipe dream.
If tourists still keep wishing, to make their risky manouevres, on Indian roads and highways, is a testimony to the intrepid tourist, rather than to the planning of the Indian tourism ministry.
A liberal dose of accident insurance, would be a good advice, for the Indian tourism ministry to give to tourists, on behalf of the Indian urban planners, and highway architects and contractors. That even the Vision documents do not have concrete mechanisms, for cycling tracks, pedestrian path ways, facilities, is shocking.
Even the local cycle industry is hardly considered a suitable party for inviting suggestions while the highways are being built. Surely the bicycle manufacturers, and pedestrians, should have a say in the construction of Indian highways, as they are rolled out in India.
