  ESCAPADE IT WAS 7TH OF MAY, 2019, ME AND MY FOUR SCHOOL FRIENDS HAD ARRIVED ON THE CST STATION TO BOARD OUR TRAIN TO CHANDIGARH WITH 20 OTHER PEOPLE. IT WAS OUR FIRST TREK, OUR FIRST SOLO FRIENDS TRIP. WE WERE GOING ON THE BHRIGU LAKE TREK, MANALI. IT IS A BEST TREK FOR BEGINNERS, MANY TREKKERS GO FOR THE  BHRIGU LAKE TREK FOR THE LAKE IS STEEPED IN MYTHOLOGY.   IT IS KNOWN AS THE PLACE WHERE THE FAMOUS SAINT MAHARISHI BHRIGU SAT IN DEEP MEDITATION. AFTER BIDING FAREWELL TO OUR PARENTS, WE ALL SOON EMERGED INTO DEEP TALKS RANGING FROM MEANING OF LIFE, EDUCATION, POLITICS, ETC. OUR COACH WAS THE LOUDEST AMONG ALL OF THEM, IT HAD BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE ALL HAD MET LIKE THIS IN ONE SINGLE SPACE. I WAS ENGULFED BY LAUGHTERS, GOSSIPS, JATTER AND GAMES. IT TRUELY FELT SO LIBERATING TO BE BACK WITH MY SCHOOL FRIENDS. EVERYTHING WAS REMINDING ME OF MY SCHOOL DAYS AND THE FUN WE HAD BACK THEN. NOTHING HAD CHANGED, EVERYTHING WAS THE SAME. AS OUR 10 HOUR LONG TRAIN JOURNEY CAME TO AN END, W

  JAPAN. ENDLESS DISCOVERY TODAY I WILL BE WRITING ABOUT JAPAN , A COUNTRY I WANT TO VISIT. IN MY PAST BLOGS I HAVE TALKED ABOUT PLACES I HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN TO, BUT TODAY I'LL TALK ABOUT A COUNTRY I WANT TO GO TO! YOU WOULD BE WONDERING WHY I NAMED MY BLOG "JAPAN. ENDLESS DISCOVERY" WELL, IT'S THE THE TRAVEL TAGLINE OF JAPAN. IN 2010, THE JAPAN TOURISM AGENCY UNVIELED IT'S NEW LOGO AND CATCHPHRASE-  "JAPAN. ENDLESS DISCOVERY"  TO HELP PROMOTE ITS TOURISM TO OTHER COUNTRIES MORE EFFECTIVELY . THE NEW TOURISM SLOGAN IMPLIED THAT JAPAN IS A DESTINATION WITH COUNTLESS HISTORICAL, TRADITIONAL, AND CULTURAL ATTRACTIONS, WHICH ATTRACT THE GLOBAL VISITORS . JAPAN IS A POPULAR TOURIST DESTINATION, IT'S POPULARITY IS GROWING DAY BY DAY PERTAINING TO ITS RICH HERITAGE, TEMPLES, CASTLES, HOT SPRINGS, GARDENS, ETC. THESE ARE A FEW REASONS I WANT TO VISIT JAPAN, AND BY THE END OF THIS BLOG EVEN YOU WOULD WANT TO VISIT THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY! JAPAN IS A VERY SA

 4 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD TRAVEL TRAVELLING HAS BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART OF MY LIFE. IN TODAYS TIME, THE WORLD IS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS, AND YOU CAN VIRTUALLY VISIT A PLACE BY NOT EVEN BEING THERE PHYSICALLY . WELL, THATS HOW I TRAVEL TO THESE PLACES WHICH I CAN'T TRAVEL TO, EITHER THROUGH A YOUTUBE VLOG, TRAVEL BLOG OR JUST SURFING THROUGH THAT COUNTRY'S PICTURES ON GOOGLE. TRAVELLING HAS TAUGHT ME A LOT OF THINGS AND IT HAS BEEN A GUIDING FORCE IN MY LIFE. I WOULD DESCRIBE IT AS A POWERFUL TOOL , AND EVERYONE SHOULD MAKE USE OF THIS TOOL AND TRAVEL AS MUCH AS THEY CAN. THESE ARE MY 4 REASONS WHY EVERYONE SHOULD TRAVEL SOMEWHERE NEW EVERY YEAR AT LEAST ONCE. 1 . NEW EXPERIENCES - ONE TRIP TO A NEW PLACE EVERY YEAR CAN MAKE YOU GO THROUGH A PLETHORA OF NEW EXPERIENCES. THAT FEELING OF TRAVELLING TO A NEW PLACE WHERE I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO IS A FEELING I MISSED THE MOST DURING COVID-19 LOCKDOWN. EVERY COUNTRY THAT I HAVE BEEN TO TILL DATE HAS TAUGHT ME NEW EXPERIENCES AND LESSONS . I

THIS NORTHWESTERN STATE OF INDIA IS FULL OF RICH CULTURE, AUTHENTIC INFLUENCES, ANCIENT ART, MAGNIFICIENT PALACES, HOLISTIC TEMPLES AND FORTS WHICH CONTINUE TO ATTRACT GLOBAL TOURISTS TO THIS STATE EVEN TODAY. I CAN NEVER FORGET MY EXPERIENCE OF TRAVELLING THIS RAJPUTANA STATE , FROM JAIPUR TO JODHPUR. LET ME TAKE YOU THROUGH MY EXPERIENCE OF TRAVELLING THE HERITAGE CROWN OF INDIA.... THE FIRST CITY THAT I STEPPED MY FOOT INTO WAS JAIPUR - THE PINK CITY. YOU WOULD BE WONDERING WHY JAIPUR IS CALLED THE PINK CITY, THE STATE CAPITAL JAIPUR WAS PAINTED PINK IN 1876 TO WELCOME THE PRINCE OF WALES, AND HAS BEEN CALLED THE PINK CITY HENCEFORTH. ACTUALLY, ALL OF THE MAJOR CITIES IN RAJASTHAN ARE PAINTED DIFFERENT SHADES OF COLORS! JAIPUR BEING THE PINK CITY , JODHPUR BEING THE BLUE CITY , UDAIPUR IS THE WHITE CITY AND JAISALMER IS THE GOLDEN CITY. MY
