A 16-month-old Indian-origin girl from Illinois is on a remarkable journey to become the youngest person ever to visit all 63 national parks in the United States. Accompanied by her parents, Akshay Sharma and Aparajita Rai, little Aarya has already explored 34 national parks and hopes to complete the ambitious challenge within the next two years.
The family's adventure began as a way to introduce their daughter to nature and the diverse landscapes across America. However, the idea of setting a record only emerged after a park ranger suggested they pursue the feat when Aarya had already visited 15 national parks.
