Rock climbing
With the rocky, hilly terrain of the city, rock climbing is one sport that you can easily pursue in Hyderabad. There are many adventure clubs in the city that have rock climbing sessions for beginners and at a nominal fee. You can start off by bouldering, a form of rock climbing, wherein small rocks (usually less than 20 feet high) are climbed.

Parkour
Parkour, also known as freerunning or art du deplacement, involves negotiating terrain without the aid of any equipment. It is done through running, jumping and climbing the surrounding features. The adventure clubs in Hyderabad routinely conduct parkour workshops where the required techniques can be learnt. But, of all the sports listed here, Parkour is the easiest one to pursue as it can be practised anywhere, in any public park for instance, as it doesn’t require any equipment.#KhabarLive
