Every journey we take on engenders a bonus to our personality, regardless of traveling solo or in a group, a hodophile or not, a kid or a grown-up. Heading out to places that were never visited earlier offers profound challenges. Oftentimes, it’s a finer choice than au fait destinations.

Reaching the spot isn’t the sole impetus. In fact, the initial planning phase of hand-picking the right location, budget calculation, confirming the place of stay, researching the activities in the destination can all be uplifting.

Let’s ponder on how individuals reap the benefits of setting out to travel.

‘Travel is still the most intense mode of learning’. If you’ve traveled to Ladhak, this quote is visible on a signboard en route to Nubra Valley. Be it venturing into a sport or activity, exploring the history of places, experimenting with cuisines, familiarizing with the lifestyle of the local people. Each of these refines the individual with knowledge galore and enlightens the minds.

Bonding — Creates cherishable Memories

Journeying with family, friends, colleagues are ideal occasions for cementing relationships. In our otherwise preoccupied lives, bonding with people takes a backseat. Trips strengthen and revive relationships giving a new dimension altogether. If traveling solo, there is always room for cultivating friendships with strangers. And you could become cronies with some of them.

Self Discovery — Opportunity to Know Yourself Better

Incessantly, we search for happiness, satisfaction, peace in external factors. Wouldn’t it be good to pause and look within ourselves and get to know our authentic selves? Tours can be meditative too especially in the midst of nature. A long walk in the lush greenery, gazing at the sunset, engaging in writing thoughts, leads to contemplative experiences. Gradually, we encounter the uniqueness of who we are.

Growth — Liberation from the comfort zone

Breaking the routine opens channels for exploring unknown zones. Often we find ourselves comfortable with the mundane activities of life. It does take a level of moxie to step into an unexplored land and confront the challenges. Every expedition comes with its set of onerous circumstances. And when we face and rise above such situations, we flounder and it often leads to growth.

Rejuvenation — Generates a New Purpose to Life

Long holidays and minibreaks enable us to breathe new life into our monotonous lives. We become revitalized as a consequence of thriving in an offbeat and sedate environment. It also facilitates bringing in novelty in specific areas of our lives. Chances are that, that we will look forward to returning to our daily schedule, coupled with ardor and zeal.

Hence embark on a journey and dare to try out adventurous activities such as trekking, rafting, bungee jumping, scuba diving, paragliding, and sense the thrills of accomplishment. Or set off to a serene location and visualize the deep beauty of life unfold in the landscapes.
