INTRODUCTION:

An adventure is an exciting experience that is typically bold, sometimes risky or undertaking.[1] Adventures may be activities with some potential for physical danger such as traveling, exploring, skydiving, mountain climbing, scuba diving, river rafting or participating in extreme sports. Adventures are often undertaken to create psychological arousal or in order to achieve a greater goal such as the pursuit of knowledge that can only be obtained in a risky manner.

Motivation:

Adventurous experiences create psychological arousal,which can be interpreted as negative (e.g. fear) or positive (e.g. flow). For some people, adventures becomes a major pursuit in and of itself. According to adventurer André Malraux, in his La Condition Humaine (1933), "If a man is not ready to risk his life, where is his dignity?".[full citation needed] Similarly, Helen Keller stated that "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."

Outdoor adventurous activities are typically undertaken for the purposes of recreation or excitement: examples are adventure racing and adventure tourism. Adventurous activities can also lead to gains in knowledge, such as those undertaken by explorers and pioneers – the British adventurer Jason Lewis, for example, uses adventures to draw global sustainability lessons from living within finite environmental constraints on expeditions to share with schoolchildren. Adventure education intentionally uses challenging experiences for learning.

Author Jon Levy suggests that an experience should meet several criteria to be considered an adventure:

• Be remarkable—that is, worth talking about
• Involve adversity or perceived risk
• Bring about personal growth

INDIA WILDLIFE ADVENTURE:

               Bhopal can be a fine activity hub for the ones who have a thing for the wilderness. Located around 10 kms away from the city border is the Van Vihar National Park, a safe home for some of India’s well known flora and fauna. Perched on the lap of Shymala Hills, this is a naturalistic-looking enclosure for tiger, lion, sloth bear, striped hyena, crocodiles and other carnivorous animals. Essentially a zoological park, Van Vihar National Park was created with the motive of rescuing animals from various parts of the state of Madhya Pradesh. Spread across a staggering 455 hectares of land, this place is an ideal destination for wildlife lovers to come and observe the animals from a close corner. You can also go for water based activities at the nearby boat club that arranges motorboat rides, pedal boats and other water sports.
