Ltd, that seamlessly blends hospitality and adventure in Jammu’s picturesque Patnitop has introduced two more exciting activities for adventure lovers! Visitors to this 22-acre mountain harbour can enjoy off-roading on All-terrain Vehicles (ATVs) and try their hand at outdoor archery.
Skyview by Empyrean is the foremost ropeway mobility company in India with integrated hospitality services.

Those adults interested in trying their hand at mastering the bullseye can pay INR 399 per person for a quiver of six arrows and a bow. This activity will be conducted with proper safety standards. All necessary safety gear will be provided including the arm guard, chest guard and fingertip guard.
ATVs are powerful motorised vehicles that give the driver an adrenaline rush as you off-road on rough terrain found in abundance in and around the Skyview by Empyrean. To enjoy a 3KM ride on an ATV, an adult guest can pay INR 1599, and for 10km of off-roading across the surrounding hilly terrain, the cost is INR 2599. Any previous quad biking experience is not required to enjoy the speed, adrenaline rush and excitement on these ATVS that are safe for both beginners and experts alike. Both activities can be enjoyed only by guests above 18 years of age.
