Feeling sad? Travel. Feeling bored? Travel. Feeling stressed? Travel. Life is too short to lament over things which eventually shall pass so spend most of your time traveling. I was oblivion of the facts and wonders of traveling. It was one of my biggest goals to travel. From my own experience I have come to a conclusion, once you start traveling you’ll never get over it, it is an addiction. Traveling once a year to another country if affordable can provide you with a long time peace of mind. Traveling squeeze out all the apprehensions and worries from the brain. People become so engrossed in their routines that they cease to think of their health and fitness. My first traveling place was Nepal. Must be musing on why I plumped for Nepal? Above all, it is one the cheapest country to put your feet on another state. Secondly it is rich in culture. Thirdly it is best place for hiking. And lastly it is full of greenery. In short Nepal is a complete package. Whenever my friends ask me to suggest them a country to travel, my tongue always slips for Nepal. It still fascinates me to think about the places I visited in Nepal. Okay so let’s talk about its culture first. I know it is a tad bemusing why I am addressing the culture first, because their culture was the prime thing which enticed me the most. Their ethnicity, tradition and religion are so diverse hence making the culture diverse too. The way people greet in Nepal is so captivating. Once they’ll get you know, they gonna hold your hand, stand close to you and even pat you. In a nutshell, they are too friendly and too good at making a cordial environment too. Their festivals are intriguing too. I traveled Nepal in October and at that time auspicious festival of Dashain was happening. Now let’s talk about the green city of Nepal which is Pokhra. I call this city ‘green city’ owing to its vibrant greenery. The best time to visit Nepal is September to February as the weather is parky. Interestingly, temperature can go as low as 5 degree Celsius. If you are a winter lover then must visit Nepal in this season. Then comes Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital. It is totally unique and different from any city in the world. Yea, I can bet on it. Kathmandu is worth spending a little more of your time. This city proffers all sort of fun and adventures.
However, most of the people think traveling is just confined to visiting countries abroad. It is utterly a wrong conception. Hanging out with bunch of your friends from home to a nearby restaurant is traveling. Eating out with your family is traveling. Even if you are going out to eat an ice-cream with your loved one is traveling. It doesn’t matter if you can’t meet the expense of traveling overseas, at least you can travel your own city with a budget friendly pocket. I believe traveling ought to be the indispensable part of everyone’s life. The question arises why? Because it refreshes a person’s mind, it gives a soothing sensation and all and all traveling offers you to explore heaps of stuff for instance culture, food and different kind of religions.
