Which of these is NOT a category of the Tenzing Norgay National Adventure Awards?
- A.Land Adventure
- B.Water Adventure
- C.Air Adventure
- D.Polar Adventure
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Polar Adventure. The award has exactly four categories and that is not one of them. Three of the four are defined by where the feat takes place, namely Land Adventure, Water Adventure and Air Adventure, and the fourth is Lifetime Achievement, which recognises a career rather than a single exploit. For the year 2024, two awards were given in Land Adventure, to Baljeet Kaur and Skalzang Rigzin, one in Water Adventure, to Rimo Saha, and one for Lifetime Achievement, to Shiv Prasad Chamoli. Note that no name was approved in the Air Adventure category this time, which is a detail worth holding on to, because a question may ask which category went unawarded. Options A, B and C are all genuine categories of the award.
