A foray into the wild, a journey to an uninhabited island, a trek to the mountain peak, a flight on the paraglide, a dive down to the sea bed all have an element of risk or even danger tagged to them. But not for those who seek excitement, stimulation and fulfillment. They relish the challenge, the adventure.

Adventure has different meanings for different people. It could be the Alaskan wilderness, Asian spiritual pathways, Australian ethnic encounter or African safari. But they all contain the distinguishing quality of adventure tourism- exploration. A combination of activity, nature and culture achieves that.
