Few days years back I met a traveler Roshni. We had same interests, sat together and started talking.  I asked her what she was doing and if she is happy.  She worked in Corporate Communications and was looking for a break.  She wasn’t happy.   A monk who was listening to our conversation came to us said something which made an impact. He said “Travel. Meet people.  Experience cultures.  You may not  get wealthy, but it will make you happy.  When you have lived your life,  it will be your stories with vivid memories that will make you feel young.  Your travelling will make you feel young and full  every damn day.”

I thought about it. About the days of my young days.  It turns out that out of my 20 years of learning in school and college, what I remember most is cycling and the fun trips I had with my friends or family. These years are almost 2000 days of my life, limited to memories which made me happy. Everything else seems blur.

I remember every trip to grandparents and when our cousins visited us. Those were the experiences I shared with the people who made me feel loved.  My life is happy because of them.  I feel young because in my mind these vivid memories define the growing-up years. Time jumps from one happy memory to another.  It runs slow during the most threatening life experiences and fast when you are happy.  Travelling can take you there. Out from regular life to a place where you create memories for a lifetime. Travelling solo has always been a culture in foreign countries, but now it has come to India as well. People, youngsters & from every other age group,  love to spend time alone.

Solo traveling lets you be the owner of your own itinerary. You can do things your way. You can wander off. Change your mind. Stay. Follow a new path. You don’t have to take your plans through anyone else’s preferences.  All you need to do is carefully balance your own needs and feelings.  It allows you to be selfish and not feel bad about it.

For those who us who have been around children, families, friends, and even pets, this is a luxury.  You can see your own potential, put your wits to a test, or challenge yourself to do something totally out of a blue. When you are totally alone, on your own, your personality comes into picture. You create your own rules, judge what to talk, how to speak or when not to engage. That exposure teaches something that most Indian families probably did not give liberty of – the freedom to choose kind of people we made friends with or ignored. They defined our choices for us and expected to follow. However, with travelling solo, all these conventions are getting challenged.
You now have the opportunity to learn something new all by yourself. It brings you closer to see best of humanity which is of strangers showing kindness in simple little ways that make our days happier!

6 Reasons To Encourage Your Child To Go On Summer Trekking

Children Trekking 

Saurabh had always been a quiet child. For as long as his mother could remember, he preferred indoors – reading books, playing on smartphone, watching TV and sleeping on holidays defined his style. He did like to step outside once a while and went for occasional rounds on cycle with friends – and that’s it – that was how his life was defined during holidays. When his mother called us with the request to expose her child to the world of trekking and take him to the mountains see life there, we just knew what it would take for him to come out of his shell and explore nature. So two trekking trips and lots of camping later, Saurabh became a different person altogether. His curiosity to know about things grew, and he started taking interest in sports and other recreational activities. So what is it that makes a child undergo a huge change in their outlook when the trek? We give you 10 reasons that we could think of. Feel free to add your own:

  1. Trekking is not just walking; it’s an experience of being close to nature. It is a treat to your senses.
  2. Trekking allows your child to develop his or her sense of inquisitiveness and explore what they have only read in books. Imagine being standing on a mountain of Himalayan range dentist read about it in your book or look at the photograph somewhere. Or imagine discovering migratory birds right at the place where they make their nests and give birth to their offspring.
  3. Trekking is not just an activity; it’s a full body workout. Your child gets to feel the strength of his or her own body and become responsible for own wellbeing.
  4. Sleeping in a tent or walking along new faces, your child gets time to bond and learn the art of communication. Without the interruptions of phone, television; it is sometimes a very dear chance to tell and hear more from each other.
  5. On trekking, children get to know more about not just their surroundings, but also about building fire, meal preparation, cooking, and most importantly learn how to get by without screens.
  6. Fresh air and open sky give time to the children be amazed with stars above and the tranquility of serene atmosphere and clean air around them.

5 Reasons You Should Try Adventure Camping

/2 Comments/in /by

“Nah..” Staying in tents is not my idea of vacation, said a lady from Chandigarh who had listed adventure & camping as her hobby. I tried to explain to her that these days tents used in adventure camping aren’t as naïve as ten years back, and there are many varieties of it, but she remained adamant because she couldn’t see herself away from luxury of resort vacations. Well, if nothing else at least she prompted me to write this post and share my thoughts from the point of view of why people like it, and why you should try adventure camping at least once in your life.

  • Adventure Camping is fun: And that’s what got me hooked to it. Sunrise directly from the front, sleeping under the stars – the whole experience is so subtle that it became a beautiful memory. For starters, every time you leave the comfort of concrete walls and step out in nature, you get a firsthand understanding of how awe-inspiring the natural world can be. Sure, I get it; many of you feel good about staying in a fantastically designed resort. However, the symmetry and color schemes that mother nature throws together amazes to the core. Rugged mountains with cool breeze and warm sun? Now that’s what you can’t feel from the window of a resort.
  • Adventure Camping is Eco Friendly: We live on a small planet that’s shrinking every day. As the population is growing, there’s an ever-increasing demand of natural resources. Cities are expanding and infringing on neighbourhood farm lands and forests. Plants, animals and fresh air is increasingly becoming extinct as a result this expansion. Though the governments are trying to preserve green lands for future generations, but even they can’t help the consistent fall in number of such places. Adventure camping allows people to explore uncrowded open spaces in an eco friendly way. It doesn’t harm the nature through construction, and restricts its dependability on industrial products.
  • Adventure Camping is Action: Kids or adults – everyone gets time to be physically active. It allows everyone to break the lazy habits that they have developed by staying indoors for long and grab the wonderful opportunity to move. Running, jumping, hiking, climbing – adventure camping is action!
  • Adventure Camping Allows You To Unplug From Technology: When was the last time you and your children took a break from TV, cell phones, and the Internet, and rediscovered your creative powers to interact in the real world?
  • Adventure Camping is Reconnection with Nature: Camping is a wonderful way to get rid of “nature deficit disorder”. It allows everyone to experience outdoor life and enrich their perception of the world. Adventure camping supports healthy body development, and gets people back outside.
