Solution
| Mother | Leena, what are your plans for the winter vacation? I thought we could go to a heritage site in India. |
| Leena | No Mom. This time, I wish to take up an adventure sport which I have been planning for a long. But I am not sure whether we have good options for adventure sports in India. |
| Mother | Why not! India is a versatile and multifaceted country and every part of it offers some new adventure to see, some new place to visit. Ranging from the wonderful treks on the powerful and the bold mountain ranges of the Himalayas, sky diving adventures in the west, hill stations of the south, proclaiming the beauty of the Karst caves to the desert trips in Thar, all the varieties are found in one nation. |
| Leena | That’s great to know that with the brooding modem nation, you can savor all the adventures either in the. midst of towns or surrounded by nature’s bounty. |
| Mother | But we must carefully choose the organizations that offer such programs. We should go for ones that are registered with the Adventure Tour Operators Association of India and the Ministry of Tourism. |
| Leena | Ok, Mom. Let us see if any of those places have bungee jumping. I have been dreaming of doing this dare-devil jump for the past two years. |
| Mother | If you are really ready for bungee-jumping, I suggest we go to Rishikesh. Apart from leaping off a cliff, you can go white-water rafting too. What do you say? Let’s talk to your father and ask him to do some inquiries. |
| Leena |
Yaayyy!!! I am so excited. I can’t wait for Dad to come back from the office. |
