Accordingly prime minister narendra modi tried snorkeling during his recent stay in India’s smallest Union Territory of Lakshadweep. Sharing pictures of corals and fish, PM Modi advised adventure lovers to definitely add the spot on their bucket list. “For those who wish to embrace the adventurer in them, lakshadweep has to be on your list. During my stay, I also tried snorkeling what an exhilarating experience it was,” the prime minister posted on X on Thursday. He further said that in addition to the scenic beauty, Lakshadweep’s tranquility is also mesmerising. The PM added that the serene environment gave him an opportunity to reflect on how to work even harder for the welfare of 140 crore Indians.
PM Modi also shared pictures from his morning walks along the ‘pristine beaches’. Snorkeling is swimming near the water’s surface with the use of a mask and a breathing tube, called a snorkel. Snorkelers take in panoramic underwater views from above and don’t deep dive into the water (unlike the scuba divers). In 2021, the world, for the first time, saw the adventurous side of PM narendra modi when Discovery channel aired its popular ‘Man vs Wild’ show with survivalist and adventurer Bear Grylls, who said the prime minister was an example of ‘calm and cheerfulness’ as they tested their survival skills in the untamed wilderness of the Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand.
Grylls had shared a 45-second promo of the special episode on X before the show was aired. The clip broke the internet as people got to see a completely contrasting side to the PM. It showed Modi, then 68 years old, driving into the Park with images of a tiger, a herd of elephants and deer running in the distance. Other visual showed him with a makeshift spear and on a put-together raft crossing a river in pouring rain.
