Hello Ghumakkads !!!
Suppose there are few tourists who are planning their trip to a group, and there may also be tourists who love to travel alone. Few of them may love to visit with luxury and few of them love to visit simply by means of public transport to observe the things closely. Few of them might saty at hotels and few of you would love to stay at your uncle's place. We can classify Tourists in multiple categories. Let's see these categories and find out which type of tourist you are.
Adventure Tourist -
Do you love adventure? And do you also think that typically visiting a museum park and seeing old artifacts is really boring? Do you also love to travel the remote area and wanna get yourself immersed into mother nature and like to have Rafting, Trekking, Paragliding and other multiple types of sports activities?
If answer to all or may of these questions is yes, then yes you are an adventure tourist. An adventure tourist wants an unusual experience and participates in dangerous activities that may also have even risk of life or simply getting physically involved with nature.
